What is Ugly Duckling?
We recycle and upcycle donated furniture, make new stuff such as garden furniture, bird, bug, bat and hedgehog boxes from donated wood and also take on customer commissions.
We provide volunteering opportunities within our shop and workshop which are open to everyone . The project operates from a workshop in East Portway, Andover and is currently open 3 days a week. If you’d like to see for yourself what we do, please arrange a visit via volunteer@andovermind.org.uk. You can also check out our pop-up shop in The Chantry Centre which is open Monday to Saturday – 10am till 2pm.
Who is the project open to?
We have volunteering opportunities available to local people, meaning different sections of the community can work side by side to address a local problem.
Donations
We are always looking for donations of solid wood furniture that we can upcycle or wood that we can make into new products. Please contact us and provide pictures if you have something which we could use.
I’m interested! What do I do now?
