The Conservation Foundation partnership

A new partnership between The Conservation Foundation and The HNCC’s ‘Wood That Works’, led by Ricky Jefferson, offers young people the opportunity to learn practical skills in wood and metal restoration, and breathe life back into antique garden and workshop tools.

Funded by the Golden Bottle Trust, Tools Shed Gold will work alongside The Conservation Foundation’s long-running project, Tools Shed, where donated broken garden tools are repaired by prisoners and given away to local school and community gardening groups.

Tools Shed Gold will operate as a social enterprise, also selling the restored antique tools through The Conservation Foundation and raising money for Tools Shed. As well as learning transferable, practical workshop skills participants will also get a chance to learn about the fascinating history behind each tool.

Birthday Tea Party

Another new service starting soon will be monthly Birthday Tea Parties, we will be asking people who have a birthday on the month of Feb for example to come to the centre and celebrate their birthday together with others that have birthdays in the same month, as we want to give a special afternoon to our very valued service users, the Birthday Tea Party’s will be on the last Tuesday of each month.

Delivery of a Hot Meal

We will also be looking into a new way of delivering hot meals for people, who live alone and can’t get out, we are at the moment looking into this new project, we believe that this service is very much needed in the local area, as many people are housebound, and can no longer cook a meal for themselves, we will be looking to offer meals to people of different ethnic backgrounds, taking into account the many cultures we have within our local community.

We will keep you posted through the website, when this service will start

 

If you would like more information about the Birthday Tea Party, please do get in touch with Larraine.
