What are Men’s Sheds?
Men’s Sheds encourage people to come together to make, repair and repurpose, supporting projects in their local communities. Sheds improve wellbeing, reduce loneliness and combat social isolation. Although the concept of Men’s Sheds started predominantly to support the health and wellbeing of older men, many Sheds have a mixed membership and cater for all ages.
About UKMSA
The UK Men’s Sheds Association is a charity that supports Sheds across the UK via resources, promotion and support to get up and running. Sheds can join us as members, although every Shed runs independently and manages itself.
