I have taken a few pictures so everyone will know where they are going. Take the turn off the roundabout where camelot is and turn left then the second left into another car park go to the end where the double gates are and go through the gates you will see 2 blue containers you can park outside that building. Do NOT park anywhere outside the fenced area that says parking for pump gym because you will get a parking ticket. As we have already said we do have a very small room in this building so people may have to wait to get get in we have an upstairs room but members are not to go up without a volunteer. Please don't go in any other rooms as they are occupied by other charities and they work very differently to us. The phone mast is what you should see to the left if you are coming from watford coming in. The window with the wrap sign is by the door you need to go in

I can now show you what our new building looks like on the inside. The downstairs room is where the members cab go look around at the moment upstairs room is storage area until we can organise it a bit more we now have a workshop room so in time we will start doing workshops again

Only another week before we re open. We still don't have a phone number so if you need to get in touch please email and someone will get back to you as soon as we can.

Such a good day. We had a big donation of foam from David Olima with lots more to pick up. Thank you so much and it was lovely to meet you. Our members are going to be very busy and hopefully as excited as we were when we saw it all

WRAP will be re opening at 3 Wolsey park on the 29th November.
We do have a much smaller premises than we did have so there won't be as much for people to take so we ask our members to be mindful of others and only take what you need

Nimisha has posted her upholstery project, courtesy of the bonanza of fabric available when we closed at our Northwood Hills location. Looks very luxurious and cosy, Nimisha, hope you are enjoying it! A timely moment to say that we have quite a reduced space in comparison at our new location, which will be opening on 29th November if all goes to plan. We are also having to build stocks up again so it may be that we will have to ration members more than we have done in the past, just to allow everyone a chance to have something. What we do have is a generous quantity of foam board, brilliant for making lightweight 3D projects etc! The place is slowly filling up again, we would love to have some wallpaper books etc if anyone has any to bring in, I seem to remember someone offering us some. We are open at our normal times for donations, so if anyone has anything they want to bring and are not sure, send us a photo to [email protected] first and we will let you know. All best, see you soon!

The weekend after next we will be holding what has become our annual Arts and Crafts Fair. Between now and then we will be posting some beautiful images of arts and crafts work by our stallholders.
