What's a community shed?

Is it a Men’s Shed or is it something else? Well, the truth is, it’s kind of just like a Men’s Shed, but it’s for everyone. We are a fully diverse and inclusive community, and we intend to try and support all the parts of our community, regardless of what different diversification they might have. Either cultural, religious, gender-based, or abilit level, we don’t discriminate against anyone. So if you’ve got a great idea of how we can be more inclusive, and bring more people from the community into the Shed, then please get in touch with us on this page or the website.

We love donations, because we were a community-led organisation that survives on grants and membership fees. If you’ve got something that you’d like to donate it’s important to remember that it needs to be useful to us. We are not your local hard rubbish disposal centre, sadly, that’s the council’s work, but we are happy to have a look at anything that you think might be of use to us. So if you have something, there’s a form on the website that you can fill in or you can get in touch with us through our Facebook page, the website, or by email.

We’d like to be open to everyone of all ages, but sadly that’s just not so. At the moment, our insurance restricts us to members being over 16 years of age. This is due to the dangerous nature of some of the tools that we have in the Shed. So anyone over 16 years can be a member at the Shed.
