What are Men’s Sheds?
Men’s Sheds Cymru has been pushing the Men’s Sheds movement across Wales. Each shed is an independent community, which can be tailored to suit the needs of its members, or ‘shedders’. Whether you’re interested in DIY, trainspotting, food or art, every interest is welcome to be put forward for your shed to participate together in.
The benefits of joining a local shed
No matter the reason for it, many men who find themselves with lots of spare time can quickly become socially isolated and bored. This can lead to deteriorating mental health, which many men can struggle to talk about.
Men’s Sheds is based on the understanding that men are more likely to join in a social activity when they have a say in how it is run and what they do. Every shed is completely different depending on the men who attend. Having a shared activity or task to work on can help to facilitate positive and important conversations with men in similar situations.
