Men's Sheds
You may want to make something or fix something, get involved in projects, play games or just come and see who is around and what’s happening. If you have handy skills, you can share them with others or you can learn new skills. You can work on your own projects or you can help others work on community projects.
The Men’s Shed is a great place to meet new friends. This is particularly important for those who are otherwise isolated through unemployment or loss of a partner or friends.
Activities include wood work and metal work, social.
