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.
