Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

The mission purpose is to engage men of ages from 18 up to 90 and beyond, to provide a place for nurturing friendship and creating a feeling of belonging. Develop a positive and co-operative culture among it's members. Meet the needs of members and their families as appropriate and be supported by the families. Be a valuable, well connected and respected community asset. Have appropriate activities supported by safe working practices. Have effective partnerships within the community. Be a place of learning new skills and improving existing ones. We hold weekly meetings sessions to allow our members to come along and meet. These meetings have served many strategic purposes: They have allowed members to steer the trustee board in the way they would like the shed to operate: Allowed safe spaces to discuss issues impacting or affecting members: giving members a reason to get out of their home and meet other people. For some members this is their only activity away from home
