Out of the Woods - Outdoor Furniture for AWP Garden Sites

Out of the Woods is a partnership project between AWP and the Forest of Avon which aims to produce beautiful, functional, indigenous wooden outdoor furniture to enhance the gardens of the new facilities being built by AWP. The project also aims to provide employment for local makers and forest workers and skills development opportunities for service users.

8 pieces of handcrafted outdoor furniture have been created by Forest of Avon co-operative members to form a unique collection of benches made from locally harvested, reclaimed, renewable and sustainably sourced timber. Service users will participate actively and creatively in the processes of producing some of these pieces.

Out of the Woods is being managed in phases as funding is sourced. The first phase, is now complete. 4 bench commissions have now bee installed in the gardens of the new PICU unit, Rehab units, Adult Acute units at Callington Road and Elmham Way Community Mental Health House at Locking Castle in North Somerset.
