Two of Scunthorpe’s most creative community champions are the stars of the latest News Direct podcast, as council leader Rob Waltham sits down with Lillie and Lucy from the Dancing Tiger Scrap Store for an episode filled with humour, inspiration and grassroots impact.
This episode sees the pair “take over the podcast” to share how the Dancing Tiger Scrap Store is transforming everyday waste materials into opportunities for creativity, play and connection across North Lincolnshire.
From schools and community groups to families and young people, the charity is helping people discover the joy of making something out of nothing.
The conversation is full of energy and laughter, including an unexpected debate about what luxury item each guest would take to a desert island – with cardboard, a mattress and even a knife all making appearances. Alongside the fun, Lillie and Lucy reflect on the Scrap Store’s purpose, growth and the difference it is making in local communities.
Cllr Waltham praised their work, describing them as “inspirational women whose creativity and commitment are helping change lives one plastic tub at a time.”
He said: “Lillie and Lucy are the perfect example of how local people with big ideas can spark real change. The Dancing Tiger Scrap Store is more than a charity – it’s a place where creativity, community spirit and responsibility come together. This episode is full of joy, laughter and inspiration, and I’d encourage everyone to listen.”
The episode is a celebration of community-led innovation and the power of re-use, with Lillie and Lucy sharing stories about the Scrap Store’s beginnings, its growing impact and their hopes for the future – including a tongue-in-cheek dream of receiving a “million-pound legacy” to help expand their work.
Listeners can find the full conversation on Spotify and YouTube.
