At Turning Corners, our mission is simple - to help people rebuild their lives through hands-on learning, practical training and a supportive community. Every day, our workshop helps individuals turn a corner by learning new skills, gaining confidence and reconnecting with others.
We believe that education and training are vital steps toward recovery and independence. Our woodworking and recycling workshops give people the chance to learn valuable, practical skills that open doors to new opportunities.
Attendees gain experience in craftsmanship, teamwork, and problem-solving - skills that help build confidence and create pathways to further training, volunteering, or paid work. Every piece of furniture or reclaimed timber creation is a symbol of progress, purpose and pride.

Turning Corners is more than a workshop - it’s a community. Many of the people who join us have faced isolation, depression, or life-changing health challenges. Here, they find encouragement, friendship and the chance to rediscover their place in society.
We foster an environment where everyone feels valued and supported, helping to reduce social exclusion and bring people together through shared creativity and achievement.

Our commitment to sustainability is woven into everything we do. By repurposing industrial pallets and other reclaimed materials, we reduce landfill waste while teaching the importance of environmental responsibility. Each recycled piece tells a story of renewal - both for the planet and for the people who create it.

Every project at Turning Corners represents more than wood and tools; it’s about rebuilding lives and restoring confidence. Through practical learning, inclusion and sustainability, we empower people to move forward - one creation, one conversation, and one corner at a time.
