Re-Create is the Play Services Association for Cardiff and the Vale. We may be best known for our wonderful Scrapstore but it is not all we do. As a Play Association we also get involved in the local area championing children's play through the projects we run and manage.
Play is a vital ingredient to a happy childhood. it can take place in a range of different settings, such as school grounds, playgrounds, parks, woodland, the beach or in the street.
However due to changes in society, children's access to play is diminishing. Sometimes public areas can be unwelcoming and fail to provide the safety and diversity of play opportunities that children need and deserve.
Good play provision and child-friendly public space has so many benefits., that's why at Re-create we have the scrapstore filled up with exciting and varied materials ready for you to buy. We have many fabrics, window display items, snow balls and large glitter balls. We also swap items with other scrapstores which brings a wider range to Cardiff.
