Wood That Works - Expert Impact

Honey Halit,

Wood That Works

Met with Meg Lustman

Wood That Works is a community enterprise teaching traditional carpentry skills to people of all ages and backgrounds. We use 99% upcycled wood that would otherwise be destined for landfill.

Meg’s warmth and friendliness was immediately apparent, as was her genuine interest and commitment to thinking about our organisational needs. Her insightful advice was bang on and helped us prioritise our next steps. In a single meeting, Meg made an impact that will have long lasting consequences for us and we are ever so grateful to her for that.
