Cre8

The Cre8 Shed Project supports men of all ages, and particularly those experiencing a range of health problems or difficulties which may create barriers to them fully functioning in society, and primarily those living with mental health conditions. Cre8 provides an opportunity for them to come together to share and discuss similar experiences. Please click here to read more

Older Mens Shed

We facilitate an Independent Shed Project aimed at older or retired men who are socially isolated or lacking purpose after retirement, and want to do something different.  Some of our current attendees are also living with dementia and some experience periods of depression.  Our ‘shedders’ come together in our carpentry workshop to produce various woodwork items at their own pace, sharing learning in a friendly and inclusive environment. Tangible items are made such as bird boxes, planters and other household and garden items, with participants feeling a real sense of pride in their accomplishments. Please click here to read more
