This is their latest project, making up Christmas boxes for the homeless and others less fortunate. They aimed to do 10 boxes and managed to make up 79! They had lots of fun helping to put them together.

Great! Giving anyone a sense of purpose is so valuable.

My son Ben on the right with his pal James with some of the handy work they made for one of A.E.Ms residential units. A range of bird boxes and a wooden chest. They have also been making bird tables and hedgehog homes.

Brilliant! Right on trend, so they should sell well. I assume they are for sale?

Such an inspiring thread & what handsome boxes, there's going to be some very cosy birds this winter. All the best with sales.

Me too, I have a close family relative with Autism also called Ben so like to see what is going on and report back hoping he could do something like this.

Thanks for all the nice comments, they do sell the items they make, though as you might expect it can take a while for orders to be processed. I believe orders are mainly for collection or delivery to local areas only.

A friend of mine is making hedgehog doorways - sort of hedgepig shaped - might they be another product they could do?
