Para 1.20 New members joining and members leaving remained broadly neutral meaning our membership numbers were steady at around 30 which is at, or near, our complement, given our limited resources in terms of space and facilities. Our total "contact" time in 2024 was 7,500 hours which is similar to our contact time in 2023. Research commissioned by the UK Men's Shed Association has shown a direct benefit to shed members who have reported feeling much less lonely since joining the shed. There is no doubt that staying active, learning new skills and contributing to the community are beneficial to mental health and wellbeing.
