SHEDQUARTERS 

We are planning to run a Mens Shed, to enable men and women to engage in practical activities such as woodwork and metalwork so as to learn or enhance their skills in these areas and to enable and encourage social interaction. As at August 2022, we are in the very early stages of acquiring a site from where we can operate. We are not open as at August 2022
