Empowering Veterans through Mental Health with Purpose
Welcome to Veterans Woodcraft Richmond, a community-driven organization created by veterans for veterans. Our mission is to provide support, empowerment, and a sense of purpose to those who have served in the HM Forces and are looking for ways to improve their mental health and overall well-being.
Leaving the military can be a challenging and often overwhelming transition. Many veterans struggle with mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, 
and depression. At Veterans Woodcraft Richmond, we understand these challenges and believe in the healing power of woodworking and craftsmanship.
Woodworking is not just a hobby; it is a therapeutic activity that can help veterans find solace, regain their confidence, and develop new skills. Through our workshops and programs, we provide a safe and supportive environment where veterans can learn woodworking techniques, create beautiful handmade items, and connect with fellow veterans who share similar experiences.
Our team of experienced woodworkers, many of whom are veterans themselves, are passionate about helping their comrades find purpose and meaning after leaving the military. We offer a range of woodworking courses, from beginner to advanced levels, where veterans can learn everything from basic carpentry to intricate wood carving.
By engaging in woodworking projects, veterans not only gain practical skills but also experience a sense of accomplishment and pride in their creations. Whether it’s crafting a unique piece of furniture or carving intricate designs, the process of working with wood can be incredibly rewarding and therapeutic.
At Veterans Woodcraft Richmond, we believe that every veteran deserves the opportunity to thrive and live a fulfilling life after their service. Woodworking provides a meaningful outlet for self-expression, creativity, and personal growth. It allows veterans to channel their energy into something positive and productive, fostering a sense of purpose and belonging.
If you are a veteran seeking support, camaraderie, and a new sense of purpose, we invite you to join our community at Veterans Woodcraft Richmond. Together, we can empower each other, improve our mental health, and create beautiful works of art that tell our unique stories
Our Mission
Set up by a group of Veterans in 2017, Veterans Woodcraft Richmond delivers woodcraft courses for people who are battling against suicidal thoughts, PTSD, mental health issues and physical disability, mainly caused by their Military service.
Our Values
We strive to go above and beyond for our clients no matter the challenge.
The principle behind Veterans Woodcraft is simple. By working with wood and learning new skills, veterans find new purpose and that in turn enables them to rediscover confidence and rebuild their lives.
“I feel that Veterans Woodcraft Richmond are family. Since my breakdown, this is the first time I have been able to be myself; to be Alison. There’s no judgement or unkind comments from any of the guys or the Veterans who attend the workshop. .”
