The North Shore Resource Centre was established in 1985 after community groups identified a need for a facility in a central location to provide sorting, storage and distribution facilities for factory off-cuts to be recycled as art and craft resources.
People using the North Shore Resource Centre are asked to give a monetary donation for goods taken and the centre is always looking for donations of materials including, wool, small untreated wood off-cuts, paper, cardboard, material, cards, beads, feathers or any useful item to keep up stocks.
The centre is available for community groups such as Brownies, Guides, Kindergartens, play centres, schools, home schoolers, etc. to use as a resource base.
More members are needed to help staff the resource centre so that it can be open more often. With more members, more resources can be sourced, making this a valuable site for people wishing to dispose of and collect unwanted art and craft items.
Those able to donate goods or volunteer time please contact either Sue or Barbara on the contact details below.
