About Us
We are a group of people passionate about woodwork and the benefits it can have on wellbeing.
We started this project with the aim of getting more people engaged with the joys of woodwork, especially using it to help improve wellbeing. Drawing on over 40 years of combined experience working with communities we have now been running successful woodwork projects together for over 18 months. Please check out the projects tab for more info. We are always looking for more ways to spread the love of woodwork and wellbeing so please get in touch...
