About Caia Crafts

Caia Crafts is a community enterprise producing high quality, hand crafted wooden products. The enterprise grew out a woodwork shop providing training to people many of whom had poor health, physical or learning disabilities or were unemployed. The aim of establishing Caia Crafts was to provide a sustainable, financially self-supporting project that ensured the continuation of the Woodwork shop into the future and secured a valuable resource for the local community.

Caia Crafts has one full time member of staff but most of its workforce is made up of volunteers and participants on schemes to help them back into employment. Through their involvement in Caia Crafts volunteers and trainees learn woodworking skills and gain valuable practical experience not only of wood manufacture but also of sales and marketing.

Caia Crafts is a part of Caia Park Partnership Ltd which is a charity providing services, facilities and opportunities to the community of Caia Park an estate located in Wrexham which suffers enduring, multiple deprivation. Any profit made by Caia Crafts is reinvested in the woodwork shop and other projects that benefit the residents of Caia Park.

All of our products are manufactured from Welsh timber from accredited sustainable sources. Much of the wood we use would otherwise have been sent to landfill. Caia Crafts promotes environmental responsibility and plays a small part in the flourishing wood crafts industry in Wales.
