Bristol Tree Craft strengthens local community by bringing underrepresented peoples together to learn traditional woodworking skills. We run regular weekly free-to-access group sessions in natural spaces, making personalised items using hand tools. Inclusivity and empowerment are our core: we work closely with locally rooted community organisations to reach marginalised people, facilitating their access to green space and fostering their agency and creativity through woodwork. We work with NEET/homeless/care-experienced youth, refugees/asylum seekers and those accessing mental health support, always addressing four key outcomes: 1. Supporting good choices, employment and training. 2. Combatting social isolation. 3. Providing access to nature. 4. Tackling poor mental health. During the 2023 financial year, the company ran 62 workshops with 6 different community organisations, reaching a total of 452 beneficiaries. This is a 19.23% increase on workshops being run compared to 2021-22 total of 52 workshops and an increase of 44.87% of beneficiaries reached compared to 2021-22 total of 312 beneficiaries.
The needs of the local community driver every aspect of our operations and organisation culture – indeed, our company was a response to locally expressed demand, emerging through a series of consultations and free drop-in sessions. We continually consult our service users about how we can meet their priorities, ensuring their voices drive our project by: 1. Giving every participant a chance to say what they did or didn’t like at the end of each session and inviting requests for future sessions. During some programmes, we plan the first 2-3 sessions, leaving the remainder of the course open to plan with participants. 2. Running interactive, nature-based participatory feedback exercises and collecting written feedback. 3. Conducting one-to-one reviews with participants and their family members. 4. Holding regular meetings with our youth steering group, in which projects are chosen and directed by participants. 5. Using our ‘ideas tree’ to gain continuous written feedback and direction from participants. 6. Hosting a Volunteer Scheme, inviting suggestions and holding reviews to ensure our volunteers have opportunities to shape our service and are feeling supported in their role. 7. Conducting research for a Training Programme, part out our longer-term plan to expand our team from within the community that uses our service.
