My Community Woodwork Sessions Summer 2023

My current role within my community is new and evolving. The summer involved delivering outdoor drop-in woodwork sessions. Not something I’ve ever been part of so the whole thing was a trial run using new ideas.  A wide range of ages participated, some returned every week over a six-week period, some families came together and solo teenagers spent time with me. Feedback from everyone has been excellent. I didn’t need a first-aid kit once, not a single drop of blood. There has been much to reflect on and I’ll be using what I learn with School groups for the rest of the year. I’ll also be engaging with teenagers and adults who need things to do, to keep busy, and to improve their wellbeing.
