Gift vouchers
The gift that gives back
Give someone a year of making, and give a second life to the materials they make with. One voucher is a present for the person who opens it, for the planet, and for a charity that keeps good things from going to waste.

A gift that gives back
Three gifts in one
A year of shelves full of possibility
Card, fabric, paper, tubes, buttons and much more, waiting to become something new. Most materials are free to members, with a small charge for a few items.
A second life for good materials
Everything on our shelves was rescued before it could be thrown away. A voucher turns what others no longer needed into paintings, costumes, classroom projects and play.
Creativity everyone can afford
We are a Wandsworth charity. We rescue materials that would otherwise be thrown away, and make creativity affordable and accessible to everyone in London. Your gift helps us do more of it.
A cardboard tube becomes a telescope. A fabric offcut becomes a costume. A bottle top becomes a bauble.
Give the voucher, and see what they make.
What they receive
A voucher worth unwrapping
Each voucher carries the season's artwork, their name, your message and a code that is theirs alone. We email it as a page that prints beautifully, with a PDF, so you can send it or hand it over in person.
An example voucher. Yours carries their name, your message, your name and a code of their own.

Gift voucher terms
Wandsworth Work and Play Scrapstore, registered charity 1041641, 13 Blackshaw Road, London SW17 0DA. Contact: info@workandplayscrapstore.org.uk. We do not charge VAT on vouchers.
- What a voucher is. A Scrapstore gift voucher pays for one Scrapstore membership. It has the value shown on it. It can be used for any membership type, by a new member, an existing member or an organisation. It cannot be exchanged for cash or used for anything other than a membership.
- Using it. Enter the voucher code when you join or renew online, or ask us at the desk. A voucher can be used once only. If the membership you choose costs more than the voucher, you pay the difference. If it costs less, no change is given and no balance is kept.
- When it must be used. A voucher must be activated within 6 months of the date it was bought. The use-by date is shown on the voucher. After that date it cannot be used, and we will not extend it.
- How long the membership lasts. A new membership starts on the day the voucher is activated and lasts 1 year. If you use the voucher to renew, your renewal works exactly as if you had paid, so you keep any days left on your current membership. Membership terms apply.
- Refunds. The person who bought the voucher may ask for a refund by emailing info@workandplayscrapstore.org.uk within 30 days of the purchase date, provided the voucher has not been activated. The refund goes to the card used to pay, and the voucher is cancelled. After 30 days, or once a voucher has been activated, no refunds are given. Refunds are made only to the person who bought the voucher, never to the person who received it or to anyone else. This does not affect your statutory rights.
- Look after the code. Treat the voucher code like cash. Anyone with the code can use it. We are not responsible if a code is shared, lost or used by someone else, except where we are at fault. We tell the buyer when a voucher is activated. If you believe a code has been misused, contact us straight away.
- Fraud and misuse. A voucher bought with a card that is reported lost or stolen, or whose payment is reversed or disputed, is cancelled. Codes that have been tampered with, copied for sale, or obtained by guessing or other misuse are void. We may refuse or cancel a voucher, or a membership gained with one, where we reasonably believe there has been fraud. Repeated wrong code attempts are blocked.
- Resale. Vouchers must not be sold on or offered as prizes without our written agreement.
- Delivery. If you choose to email the voucher on a date, we send it that day. We are not responsible for an email address entered wrongly; please check it before you pay. We can resend a voucher to the same address on request.
- Messages. The buyer's message is shown on the voucher as they wrote it. We may remove a message that is offensive or unlawful.
- Changes. We may update these terms. A voucher is governed by the terms in force on the day it was bought.
- Law. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
Terms last updated 13 November 2026.
