The Men’s Shed is a charitable organization run by the members for the members. There is a small committee who ensure the Shed runs safely, economically and legally.
Essentially the Shed is a safe place for adult males over the age of 18, who can come and engage in all manner of manly things. Talking is a very important part of the Sheds ethos. How many times have you heard “we men bottle things up and don’t express our feelings and worries” whether that be to family or professionals and the like. The Shed encourages men from all backgrounds to come along, see what is going on and get involved and support each other. It is wonderful how the toughest, most single-minded of people are able to open up to what is really a bunch of strangers. We’ve all had our issues during our journey through life and it is very empowering to hear from men who have gone through similar trials, to hear how they coped and survived and in many cases came through a changed but better person for it.
