Our Charnwood Men & Women in Sheds project is just a larger version of the typical garden shed, furnished with work benches & equipment for making, mending & restoring.
Whichever activities are pursued, the essence of a Shed is not the building but the network of relationships between the members, the opportunity to connect and to share life's ups and downs with others.
It is here that friendships are made and problems are shared. Whether learning a new skill or re-engaging with an old hobby, the Sheds offer a unique opportunity to create new objects and make new friends.
