02 Activities

What the charity does

We are a group of local people from the town of New Milton and the surrounding parishes and we operate a Mens Shed, which is a community space for men to connect, convers, and create. Members come together to share skills, knowledge, and experiences in order to enrich each other's lives. This is achieved by undertaking creative and practical projects and using the shed as a social networking hub.
