Gloucestershire July – August 2016 We’re building a 9mtr turf roof roundhouse for the charity Farms For City Children and are calling for assistance. The 2 week Full Build event will give you a chance to be involved right through the building process. Your participation on this event will assist the charity Farms For City Children in the building of their roundhouse. This is something between work experience, volunteering and crowd funding but not a course – your fee is actually a donation to Farms For City Children, which helps to fund the completion of the outdoor classroom. The donation for this event is on a sliding scale according to your income.  Everyone pays a deposit of £80 which covers the costs of Katherine cooking our evening meals for two weeks. The additional donation would be maximum £320 but you choose what amount you can afford to donate. You can pay the deposit via the course bookings page to book your place. There will be the opportunity to stay on for longer if you’d like but we ask a minimum commitment of one week and will give preference to those that can commit to two. Also please note that because of the nature of this event you must be physically fit, strong and competent with tools.For info about this and to book a place visit the website here…http://wholewoods.co.uk/reciprocal-roof-roundhouse-building-course/ For those who want a more intensive tutored instruction over a shorter time period we are also running a 4 day intensive course during the build. The 4 day intensive course assembles all the components of a full size Reciprocal Roof Roundhouse frame. We’ll also experiment with reciprocal roofs of different size and pitch, to make sure that you really understand how this intriguing piece of geometry works.

Team Building on REAL building projects!

A community building programme  – in every sense – where your involvement enables the construction of natural outdoor classrooms at schools and visitor centres around the country.

Our Team Building sessions offer businesses the chance to champion nature-based learning in local schools and visitor centres whilst providing a memorable, meaningful experience for their staff. Your people will learn new skills alongside our instructors and go home with the satisfaction of having contributed to a real community building project. Some of the engaging, fun and challenging activities are shown below. We suggest that businesses make a minimum donation of £1500 for a Team Building day, all of which goes directly towards the cost of building an outdoor classroom.
