SCARF is a not-for-profit social enterprise business dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment by re-using waste products as creative arts resources. The organisation is run by a board which includes the head teachers of Eastfield nursery and primary schools and members of the business community. Funding comes partly through a neighbourhood renewal grant and partly from self-generated income, with the intention that the project will become wholly self-financing from membership fees and sales in the future.
SCARF collects a wide variety of business waste for re-use from large and small factories, retailers, marketing companies, local authority, offices and company liquidators. It is registered with the Environment Agency, runs a free collection service and provides businesses with the appropriate waste transfer documentation to ensure environmental targets are met.
