Community

Since our Shed was opened early in August the members have been busy equipping it with the range of tools necessary to undertake a range of personal, collective and community based projects.

The previous three years have involved developing the membership, raising funds, and finding a suitable site for its installation.The purpose being to provide a place for men to meet, make friends, socialise and to learn new skills. In doing so, Men’s Sheds help to combat social isolation, and empower members to cultivate a new sense of purpose and self-worth. In addition, to encourage, and enable, men to come together in making, repairing and repurposing things, while also supporting projects in their local community.

Our membership has grown since opening and we now have number of projects under construction, and are preparing items for the Christmas tree festival at St Mary's Church, jobs from the council, local school, and to sell at our stall at the Christmas Fair at the end of November.

Our Shed is open most days, and normally from 9:30 a.m.to early afternoon.

So, come and see us, join us, commission items.... We are open for business!
