Staffordshire workshop group which does much for the community still looking for additional venue to continue its work
A Hednesford-based group which takes on carpentry and community projects is still no closer to finding a new workshop nearly 12 months after its previous base was forced to close.
Cannock Chase Shed has more than 40 members and meets twice a week at the Cannock Chase Enterprise Centre in Hednesford. In taking on workshop projects it helps members' health and wellbeing, giving them a social and work outlet.
It has expanded since starting in 2018 with five members in a converted garage.
Before the Museum of Cannock Chase closed last year, the group operated out of two workshops, with the larger projects carried out at that site in an annexe or converted shed. Now it acts as a storage unit for some of the tools but they have to get a key from the district council to access it.
Some of the items they have made include a sign for Hednesford Railway Station and planters, bird boxes and tables, and benches for community groups, schools, charities and even Cannock Chase Crematorium.
