What is a Men’s Shed?
The Suffolk Men’s Sheds project is a network of community spaces operating in various venues, offering different activities. These are enjoyed by men and women where sessions are arranged to share valuable skills, encourage new friendships while supporting local communities by creating or repairing items. While Garden Sheds are often solitary in nature, Men’s Sheds are the exact opposite! They are steeped in social connections, sharing knowledge and creating a stimulating environment to be enjoyed. They are held in Community Halls, portacabins, garages, old warehouses or even adapted containers. Their activities can include woodworking, metalwork, electronics, model buildings, car maintenance, furniture restoration, producing items for the local community or simply making gifts for friends and family.
