Doing Good With Wood

We explore how autistic inclusion in the workplace can benefit both affected people and employers. We also look at Reseiclo, Community Wood Recycling's South Wales enterprise, and their sister enterprise, Reseiclo Training, which provides day services for adults with a range of conditions including autism.

This issue explores how the Procurement Act 2023 might affect both small social businesses like ours as well as larger suppliers like the construction companies we work with. We also look at how The Wood Shack and JERICHO are transforming the lives of young people and victims of modern slavery in Birmingham.

Working with reclaimed wood takes care and creativity but yields great results, much like working with a diverse range of people. We hear from some of our woodworkers about what reclaimed wood means to them, and also learn about fun days out at the Aldingbourne Country Centre, home of Wood@Aldingbourne.
