Visiting Brickmakers Wood
Was great to have a chat with Rob from the Men’s Shed at Brickmakers Wood and a tour of their facilities. Also spoke with Jo who is running the new Sheshed.
Brickmakers Wood provides a fantastic space for men to come together to develop new skills in an environment that boosts their mental wellbeing. I dropped in on a couple of workshops in which a boat, a notice board for the community and a pond dipping platform for SEND children were all being built.
It was wonderful to see the hugely positive impact that Brickmakers Wood has on the local community and the individuals that attend. I thoroughly enjoyed our wander through the woods and can truly see how this is a safe and inclusive space.
We also discussed the new Sheshed that has been open for three months now and the hugely positive impact that this has had on ladies in the community.
Brickmakers Wood are always open to donations to support the fantastic work that they do.
I look forward to attending the grand opening of the new area that is being developed, next year.
