About the charity.
A social enterprise company based in Woking, recycling wood and transforming lives.
Recycling wood
Nothing is wasted
We provide a waste wood collection service for local building sites and recycle the wood. We sell wood for DIY and make beautiful and useful wood products in our workshops. Any wood that can’t be used is chipped for bio-fuel. Recycling reduces use of virgin timber and avoids emissions from landfill.
Transforming lives
The wood is only half of it
We give people who cannot access the job market at present the opportunity to gain experience of a real work environment, gaining confidence and useful skills for the future. Local volunteers make it happen.
Supporting us
How the money works
We are a social enterprise and a not-for-profit — everything we earn gets ploughed back into what we do. We’ve had some grant funding, gifts and loans, but we aim to become self-supporting from the revenues we earn. We expect much of this to come from fees paid for wood collections, and we are seeking to grow this activity rapidly.
The most useful thing a local builder can do is book a collection. The most useful thing anyone else can do is give us some time, or buy your next bit of timber from the store instead of a merchant.
