::: Introducing SAMS (Scrap Art Material Store) Reduce, Reuse, Recyle, Reclaim, Recreate ::: | |
What Is SAMS?
It is an Aladdins Cave of goodies. At SAMS surplus objects are collected, displayed and offered in a sort of emporium or ‘warehouse of wonders’. SAMS brings together public and private organisations with a common aim of raising recycling and environmental awareness and actively encourages recycling within the local business community. With the assistance and support of our dedicated team of volunteers our not for profit social enterprise is a thriving hub of activity.

Committed To SAMS Success... SAMS also incorporates School Friends, which brings the opportunity for continued links between education and the private sector. Our Employee Community Involvement project is supported through SAMS through business involvement. Local business employees ‘put something back into their community’ by undertaking team building ‘challenges’ to solve area problems. Private sector business ‘surplus’ is collected and used in the challenge and any excess supports local charities and voluntary organisations through SAMS.
