It’s been a slow process getting the project started but it’s finally open and is welcoming people along.  The main purpose of the Shed is to help improve the well-being and loneliness of mainly men but women too.  The Shed is equipped with a huge range of wood and metal working tools for people to be trained on (or show their experience) and make their own projects or take part in community projects.  There’s tea and coffee provided and an experienced team of day leaders to share their knowledge. It’s a welcome place to meet new friends and learn new skills or share your own experiences.  Or just come along for a chat and a cup of tea. Please check the website for more information.https://shedquarters.org.uk/ ...
