THERAPEUTIC TURNING
I am an advocate for Therapeutic Turning and champion the benefits of Woodturning to Mental Health Organisations, Schools, Charities, Men Sheds and individuals with Special Educational Needs (SEND) and the neurodiverse community.
I have been working closely with a number of organisations including Workbridge, St Andrew's Health Care and Op Courage.
Op Courage are an NHS mental health specialist service designed to help serving personnel due to leave the military, reservists, veterans and their families. As part of a working group, we have been working on a War Veterans Workshops Initiative. This is to foster reintegration and connections via Woodturning workshops and the opportunity to work towards the Certificate in Woodturning, whilst nurturing post traumatic growth in a safe place such as Workbridge.
I was so impressed with the work that Workbridge do, I have joined them as a volunteer.

THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF TURNERS
I am a member of the Training & Education Team in The Company; primarily as an accredited Assessor and Tutor. The Company offers two tiers of qualification, the Diploma & Certificate. Turners need a level of competence before they start on the Certificate, whilst more advanced skills are needed before embarking on the Diploma.
In January 2025, I was delighted to attend the Freeman Declaration ceremony where I became a member of The Worshipful Company of Turners in London.
