CLEOBURY MORTIMER MEN'S SHED ("CMMS") 

Cleobury Mortimer Men's Shed (CMMS) aims to combat loneliness and isolation in men over 18 and alleviate the associated health conditions, including mental health issues, faced by men. We provide a safe, purpose built workshop, built by the charity where men can work, learn and share their knowledge working shoulder to shoulder.
