Get involved: Information, patterns, plastic, videos, zooms.

Stage 1: Get Involved

 If your school / organisation would like to get involved. You can start your collection box point in your school or place of work. You can use our support logo. Either print off our posters or make your own creative design And stick it on a box .
It’s great to ask for cut open and washed packets. Sadly we can’t pay your postage and  we can only accept prepared packets at HQ

Most of our CPP Suppor groups prefer them all washed and cut open so that they can crack on making these items. 

You can find an CPP group to find in our link page or please do get making and creating yourselves.

Stage 2: Collect and Make

Your welcome to keep your washed prepared crisp packets and start  ironing them in to strips either send them to your local group in strips of 4 , please fold these up rather than roll them this really helps us . Or maybe start making grids of 1x4 strips ready to put your plastic on for us . It doesn’t take long to learn how to make a crisp packet survival item all our instructions and information videos are on here for free. Also on our YouTube channel link. If you need more help or your school organisation would like a demonstration. For a small donation you can email to book your zoom meeting.  

Stage 3: Jump on Board

You’re very welcome to jump on board and start up your own CPP Support Group Facebook . We have just changed this from a CPP Area Group ,a CPP Support Group can be as productive as you would like all independently run all voluntary .
It could be a social media platform for CPP sharing information or you can go full out and make items and run workshops . This is completely up to you. 

Please see all the information on this page regarding using our name. This is free to use and make your own CPP Facebook group page up . 🌟But Please do Register your group . ⭐ You can then  join our private group organisers page on Facebook that can help you with advice every step of the way. You can use any information thats on our website regarding how to make the items, some group photos are not ours to share.  You are welcome to start your own page with out using our name but please only use linked photos to our website/ YouTube channel. Also this is not to make money from this is a community project so  please don’t exploit this wonderful project for your own gain.

Sourcing Your Plastic

  • This may be the hardest part. We are very lucky that Hastings sofa company donate all their landfill plastic to us. You can ask in your local supermarket for the plastic that covers the large pallets of kitchen or toilet roll. Clothes stores for the plastic that they receive their clothes deliveries covered in. The plastic should be the thickness of a bread bag, too thick it will not fuse. If its biodegradable it will melt. If you get really stuck we may be abler to help.
