These days they&#8217;re a completely self-funding social enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>Their Collections team works\u00a0closely with local and national building firms and other organisations to collect wood waste for re-use. They also have a group of keen volunteers on hand who learn new wood-related skills on the premises,\u00a0creating new wood furniture from reclaimed timber\u00a0and preparing the wood\u00a0for sale as well as offering buyers a warm welcome.
