PROUD PARTNERS OF MEN’S SHEDS
For a few Years now Metalcraft have been a proud sponsor of Men’s Sheds, a charity Improving wellbeing, reducing loneliness and combatting social isolation. Men’s Sheds (or Sheds) are similar to garden sheds – a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending -but also socialising. and friendship building.
Although labelled sheds, they often aren’t sheds at all. They can be empty offices, portable cabin’s, warehouses, garages etc. Many Sheds get involved in community projects too!
Activities in Sheds varies greatly, but you can usually find them repairing, restoring and model buildings, using woodworking and metalworking – that’s were Metalcraft comes in! Sheds typically attract older men, but many have younger members and women too. Whatever the activity, the essence of a Shed is not a building, but the connections and relationships between its members.
For current Men’s Shed members contact Mike Collins mcd@jandcrwood.co.uk 01482 345067 to find out how Metalcraft can help and support your shed.
