Woodturners of the Hunter - A proud record in Community Projects

 The Woodturners of the Hunter have been instrumental in raising in excess of $530,000.00 for the purchase of specialized equipment for the John Hunter Children’s Hospital. This incredible amount has been raised over 12 years as a result of our annual Woodworking and Hobbies Expos and raffles.

Other initiatives to serve the Less Fortunate members of the Community include:

• Hand turning 1830 wooden bowls that were then filled with confectionary, gift wrapped and presented to residents of Aged Care Facilities in the Hunter Region.

• Hand crafted 250 timber ‘play dough’ rolling pins for the Occupational Therapy Department of the John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

• Making a large number of wooden toys that were distributed to underprivileged children by various charity groups.

• Supporting Technical Aids for the Disabled (TAD) by developing and manufacturing aids for holding pens/pencils etc for use by people with hand function disabilities.

• Development and production of book holding aids for residents of Aged Care Facilities.
