Carving Community is a Community Interest Company that specialises in engaging with young people, their families and the community they live in. We take as our starting point, the belief that through building meaningful relationships using creativity and imagination, young people can transform their lives and develop a personal sense of authority.We maintain that each young person has their own unique gifts and qualities and it is through our professional engagement that we can reflect back to the individual what we have witnessed and support and encourage them to pursue those talents. Our work embraces destructive and complex behaviours expressed by young people and encourages them to incorporate their feelings into a creative process rather than being harmful to themselves, others or their environments.Our work centres on the practical use of hand tools such as axes, blades, draw knives, mauls and spades. We provide a safe outdoor environment in which our experienced team can work with and accommodate young people’s needs. Previous work has shown that creative work with tools can help to redirect negative, destructive behaviours and create positive outcome for the wider community.In 2022, we were pleased to be able to offer 1 small community project in North Tawton.Wild Bench, North Tawton, Live West HomesWorking with our partners at LiveWest, our aim was to support children and young people, with the help of their families, to decorate & ‘plant’ a hand made oak bench as part of an tree planting event at Barkers Way. This would provide a place to gather within their local community and encourage use of the outdoor space.The group was involved in: taking care of the work space & each other, playfully engaging with oak leaves in water, to learn more about the oak wood used to make the bench, before choosing 1 oak leaf as a template to decorate the bench using a punch hole method. Finally the group worked cooperatively to fix, finish and oil the bench before gathering for a celebratory photograph on completion.Who attended:A total of 30 local people attended including 15 children & young people between 2 - 17 years, 12 parents & supportive adults, and 3 LiveWest staff.What Participants said:"Some of my highlights of the day were seeing the mums getting involved, ... chatting with a baby on her lap, everyone planting trees especially ..and I think ... &...who did a lot of hard work, the wonderful engagement and creativity of the carving, and a volunteer having a few tears because she thought the event was so lovely.... who was very shy and had to be coaxed into a lot of the activities came up to me at the end to ask if we would be doing something like this again which I thought was a lovely compliment."- AK Community Connector, LiveWestWe would like to thank our funders, partners, facilitators, young assistants, volunteers and community makers for their support, willingness, good will and generosity of spirit.
