Dorothy the Chop Saw happily comes along to every outside build we do in the community. Take our Volunteer Assembly, an annual event where local groups pitch their ideas for potential projects – from bird tables, potting sheds, even a vegetable shop. With her power and versatility, Dorothy makes any project possible. Your donation will make sure this scheme continues to help both Dorothy and local communities thrive.
Dorothy and the team have built 15 projects across Edinburgh, and they’re ready for their next challenge. Are you up for joining them?
