BRISTOL'S M SHED CRANE NO.29
May 2017
A really interesting project to be involved with, in collaboration with Canopy & Stars of Bristol, B&Q and Bristol Council. C4 also covered the project, it featured in the construction show 'Amazing Spaces'.
Along with builders, designers and the team at C&S, we built a tmeporary tree house on top of the famous old harbour crane. the first and only in the country.
'The treehouse was supported by brilliant solutions from B&Q and was built using sustainable and low impact materials. Though it rose high above Bristol’s harbourside for only 130 nights, over 10,000 people applied for a chance to stay. Just 260 guests were lucky enough to get the chance to climb into our city-centre cocoon of calm.'
Over £5,000 raised for partner charity Friends of the Earth
40 planters are now being proudly displayed in local schools (including Glenfrome Primary and St Werburghs Primary) and South Bristol Sensory Gardens - a sensory garden for children and young people with additional needs and their parents and carers
Supported by brilliant solutions from B&Q, 4 Bristol families in need benefited from B&Q products used in the project, through their charity partner Shelter

WESTON HOSPICECARE COURTYARD GARDEN
August 2020
A project that is very clost to my heart as my Brother Antony spent his final few weeks here recieveing the very best paliative care.
Wonderful venue, exceptional staff and a formidable cause to be involved in.
I am currently still, at the time of writing, re-designing a courtyard garden which when finished will be enjoyed by patients and, nurses, staff and relatives of patients alike.
I hope to do somehting great, for a minimal budget but with a big impact to hekpomake the stay, work and visits to the hospice a better place and more comfortable experiemce.
Watch this space.
