♻️ This Great Big Green Week, we're celebrating one of our favourite things - turning reclaimed wood into planters to help our own garden grow!

Every piece of wood has a story, and by rescuing and reusing wood we're keeping valuable materials in circulation. That's great for us and great for nature!

🌳 We love seeing reclaimed wood continue its journey as part of a thriving green space filled with plants, trees and wildlife.

🌱Celebrating Great Big Green Week with a little corner of nature created from reclaimed materials.

♻️ At Touch Wood, we’re passionate about giving wood a second chance. That’s why we’ve built planters using reclaimed timber for our own little garden, transforming materials that might otherwise have gone to incineration.

Surrounded by trees, shrubs and plants, this small green space is a reminder that sustainability can be practical, creative and beneficial for both people and the environment.

♻ We were thrilled to be able to create some beautiful reclaimed wood plaques to thank the volunteers who support Touch Wood and our sister organisation FareShare Greater Manchester for their service.

⭐Each Volunteers’ Week, we like to say a huge thank you to the brilliant volunteer team, without whom, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. This year, we marked it with a special Volunteer’s Breakfast each morning, there was a thank you barbecue yesterday evening and every volunteer was given a special wooden memento to say thank you.

💚Thank you to all of our volunteers – you are so special and we appreciate everything you do.

♻ Every piece of reclaimed timber tells a story.

🌍This World Environment Day, we're proud to celebrate the impact of keeping those stories alive.

♻ Last year, Touch Wood recycled 250 tonnes of reclaimed wood and reused 21 tonnes, preventing valuable materials from going to waste and creating opportunities for new craftsmanship, creativity and community benefit.

🌳 From raw live-edge timber to a one-of-a-kind statement piece.

🪵 Every piece of rescued wood has a story and with a little craftsmanship, care and creativity, it can be transformed into something truly beautiful.

This sweet chestnut began life as rescued timber and now has a second chance as a handcrafted occasional table full of warmth, character and natural charm. In fact it’s being appreciated by clients at a sports therapy clinic in Old Trafford right now!

♻️That’s the wonder of reclaiming wood: saving valuable materials from waste and turning them into furniture made to be loved for years to come.
