Community Learning: Woodwork Hub

Our Community Woodwork Hub at Blackbird Leys is about sharing skills and knowledge, having fun with like-minded people, and gaining a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. It’s a social place that is open to adults, regardless of ability or gender, to work on ideas and enjoy the process of making and mending. Woodwork hubs also reduce isolation and feelings of loneliness, allowing members to improve their mental well-being and remain independent.

You’ll learn how to make repairs using a variety of simple techniques and everyday tools, to help improve the quality of any woodwork jobs you undertake at home.

You are welcome to join us on any or all of the following dates in 2023:

March 7,14,21,28, April 18, 25, May 2,9,16,23,30.
