Shanklin has a new Men's Shed located at the YMCA Winchester House, Shanklin.

We meet every Monday 2-4pm (please follow the signs to reception). A Men's Shed is a community based shed, where men can work alongside each other to make a difference to the community as well as to their own lives. Its about sharing skills, being active, drinking tea.

This shed has a room although we need to build a floor to go into it. While this is being done, the shed will be undertaking activities around the site, starting with creating a garden space to help bereavement counselling for young people. This shed is certain to grow and grow, making it a fantastic asset to the local community.

For more information, please call Lois at Age UK IOW on (01983) 525282 or email [email protected].
