About this Event

The Reet Good Wood Club is a creative group specifically for Neurodivergent adults who have had a late diagnosis, are waiting for a diagnosis or are not seeking one but identify as being neurodivergent. For people who have 'managed' to get through life without any kind of support - this space is for you. Unfortunately we do not meet criteria for formal support but being around other people like you is massively important.

Ruth, who runs Reet Good Wood, offers a monthly workshop at her studio on Floor 5 of Spinners Mill in Leigh


Ruth says...

"Being Neurodivergent has many challenges. It can be quite isolating at times and some people often feel misunderstood, like they don’t ’fit in’ and can struggle to thrive in a world suited to neurotypical people. Last year I found my calm in the chaos that goes on in my brain as a neurodivergent adult. I found this sense of calm by Upcycling wooden furniture. It gave me an outlet and massively improved my mental health and emotional wellbeing. So, I thought, why not share it with other Neurodivergent adults!? There is very little support out there when you're waiting for a diagnosis and very little afterwards, and although some people might not need it, for others being around other neurodivergent people can help massively. It can give a sense of belonging, provide a safe space to be your authentic self, in a space where you don’t have to worry about being judged or mistreated."


In this session you get to have a go at an activity we feel is really beneficial to our health. We have furniture, wood to make things from, paints, tools and space to share. By offering a workshop at a weekend it means the building is quiet, and we can create more bespoke working and teaching experiences. We're asking for a £5 ticket contribution to cover the operational costs incurred. If this is going to be a barrier for you to attend, please email [email protected]

This workshop is for adults of any gender identity, who consider themselves to be neurodivergent. You do need to be able to work independently as you will be expected to be able to work unsupervised at times, to keep yourself safe and to be able to do your own furniture painting.

Group size is limited to 8 places. Demand for these sessions is quite high so if you can not make it please cancel your booking in advance to allow other people to book. If you want a video or any more information about the workshop space, or want to visit first - that can be arranged. Drinks, biscuits and great company all included.
These sessions are located in a workshop environment so please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty / paint on. Please arrive on time to start at 11:30am.
