Kensley Sheds are almost finished for phase 1. We have been project managing this eco refurb with funding from the Heritage Lottery Funding (HLF) through the Foresters’ Forest programme. The funding for materials came from the HLF and the wages to pay the main professional builders came from Awards for All national lottery.

Our Eco builders Paddy and crew were amazing throughout. We only used locally sawned Western Red Cedar for the cladding waney edge effect and used recycled polyester for insulation, all the windows were reclaimed, we also put on a new roof and we the Rewild Project donated a good wood burner for the workshop area. Our volunteers and New Leaf’s also put in many days of work for free, thank you!.

We are helping to organise a series of green woodwork courses (watch this space) to be run at Kensley Sheds to help fund the ongoing running of the Arbour Training Community Interest Company who like us are a non for profit social enterprise, so we need your support.
