Civic heads from across Hampshire and Dorset visited Netley Marsh in September for a tour of the workshop and to hear about the projects we’re supporting in Africa with the help of volunteers in the UK.

The visit was part of a civic day to celebrate the New Forest Produce marque. It was organised by the Chairman of New Forest District Council, Councillor Les Puttock who chose to showcase Tools for Self Reliance along with a small handful of other local enterprises.
