We reach out to our local community by .
  • repairing items such as benches and planters for our local councils, local charities, sheltered housing projects and care homes
  • making items for playschools and groups working with young people
  • visiting local groups like the Sea Scouts to make items such as bug boxes and bird boxes,
  • making items for community groups like The Friends of Brookland Park and Keep Lancing Lovely 
We gratefully receive 
  • wood, materials and surplus items from local builders and developers, householders and community groups
  • tools that are no longer required - if we cannot use them, we can usually find someone who can!
  • donations of tea, coffee and biscuits!

Please note that we are not a business. We do not seek to take work off local tradespeople. When we work on projects we simply ask for the cost of the materials that we use (if we do not already have then) and a donation to cover our running costs for the project like insurance, electricity etc.
