Looe Shedders
Community Projects
In chronological order from May 2024 to date
Wall montage for
Hillcrest Nursing Home
Staff wanted to recreate a seaside ambiance for the residents of Hillcrest to help
bring back memories of happy times they’ve had with familes on the beach. Looe
Shedders installed this montage which provides the setting for deckchairs, seagull
sounds, fish and chips and ice cream.
Church services cross for
Hillcrest Nursing Home
Looe Shedders made this cross for residents of Hillcrest Nursing
Home so staff could hold services for residents that can’t get to
church.
Playground tractor for
Trenode Primary School
After making a playground bus for Looe Primary School Looe Shedders was asked
to make this playground tractor for Trenode Primary School.
It’s made from recycled material including a cable drum, scaffold planks, decking
and lawnmower steering wheels.
Wendy house for
Trenode Primary School
This wendy house was rotting in the Donkey Field when we
retrieved it and started refurbishment.
Progress is very slow as we have to work in the car park and are
herefore dependent on the weather.
Here’s hoping for a better summer this year.

3rd World Stove for Ukraine
This stove was donated to Looe Shedders and it seemed appropriate to pass it on
to somewhere it would be really needed.
So, courtesy of Looe Lions, it is now just behind the lines in Ukraine.
