A community woodwork workshop in Highgate is becoming an independent social enterprise after relocating to new premises last year.
Wood That Works opened at an underground, converted car park in Stoneleigh Terrace in September after its former home at Highgate Newtown Community Centre in Bertram Street was demolished as part of an ongoing redevelopment.
Founder Ricky Jefferson launched Wood That Works 15 years ago and has since offered classes to schools, children with learning difficulties, women’s groups and young offenders.
Team member Honey Halit said: “We’re really enjoying our new space and the new opportunities that come with being an official social enterprise in our own right.
