02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Members can take part in a variety of activities, including woodworking, metalworking, gardening, and other hand-on projects. The shed provides access to tools and equipment, allowing individuals to learn new skills or work on personal projects in a supportive environment. Additionally, we offer a space for informal conversation and social interaction, helping to build friendships and a sense of community. The shed offers a welcoming environment where men can form friendships, share experiences, and build a sense of community. This social interaction helps combat loneliness and provides emotional support to men who may be experiencing mental health issues which impact on their everyday lives. We often participate in community initiatives, contributing to local projects and charities. This involvement not only benefits the community but also gives members a sense of purpose and achievement. We are currently manufacturing benches and wooden garden beds for a local charity.
