Our History

Established December 2015

Veterans Woodcraft was established as a not-for-profit business in December 2015 by veterans, who themselves have battled with mental health issues including PTSD. As volunteers and with tools donated by the public, they delivered woodcraft courses and workshops to support other veterans with mental and physical health issues.

In June 2017 the business became a not-for-profit Community Interest Company. Having developed to help veterans with mental and physical health conditions, mainly caused by military service, woodcraft workshops are now also delivered to blue light services, civilian groups and individuals suffering with mental and physical health issues. By working with wood, they develop new skills and confidence in order to get back into the workplace and once again become part of their community.
