Denne Joinery joins forces with Wood Works to provide off-cuts for vital cause
Denne Joinery is committed to helping the local community in any way we can, and we’ve found the perfect home for our reusable wood off-cuts.
Like every joinery workshop, we often have leftover or surplus materials that can be put to good use, and in our case, donated to a very worthwhile cause.
As part of our commitment to sustainability – and to charities close to our hearts – we’ve partnered with a local, not-for-profit organisation Wood Works, which runs wood crafting workshops for people with brain injuries, as well as their family and friends.

The Wood Works’ aim is to help those in the class to set out a project of their own choice. They can choose a specific item to make in line with their current level of skill, while looking to improve on that skillset.
Taking place twice a week at Loddington Farm, the sessions provide projects that are achievable, with appropriate guidance and safety in mind. Intricate work may be carried out with one-to-one supervision, helping to not only strengthen their understanding of the project, but also help with their confidence and coordination.
Denne Joinery first got involved with the Wood Works Service following a phone call from longstanding joiner Dave Hughes, who had worked with Denne for several years. Denne Joinery jumped at the chance to offer their off-cuts to the workshop, realising its impact on not just the people who attend, but also those closest to them.
Following a recent visit to Wood Works, our team agreed: “It was incredibly rewarding to witness how off-cuts of wood and sheet material, donated from our Bramling Workshops, has been transformed, and the experience left us feeling proud of Denne’s ongoing commitment to making a difference.”
