Questions

Before you get in touch

How much does a wood collection cost?

Less than the cost of a skip. Call 07305 987808 for a quote — the minimum load is 6 cubic yards.

Where do you collect from?

Sites along the M3 – A3 corridor and towards London: in and around Basingstoke, Farnham, Guildford, Aldershot, Farnborough, Woking, Staines-upon-Thames, Esher and Kingston.

What happens to the wood you collect?

It is sorted and re-used. Good timber is sold in our wood store for DIY and small building projects, some is made into products in our workshop, and any wood that can’t be used is chipped for bio-fuel.

Can I buy wood from you?

Yes. The wood store has a great choice of wood for small building projects and DIY, and is open 9-5 on weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays. Come and see.

Do I need experience to volunteer?

No. We are looking for people of 18 or over from any background, and no previous experience is needed — all equipment and training is provided. It is primarily people-skills we are looking for.

I’m trying to get back into work. Can you help?

That is much of the point. We especially welcome applications from people seeking to get back into mainstream employment. You will gain confidence, experience and skills for your next job while working in a supportive team.

Are you a charity?

Yes — registered charity number 1182905. We are a social enterprise and a not-for-profit: everything we earn gets ploughed back into what we do.

How do I get in touch?
