Men in sheds

The’ Men’s Shed’ movement sprung up as a way to tackle social isolation in men, particularly after retirement. The idea is simple. Instead of men pottering about in their own shed, they get together and have a ‘local’ shed where they can carry out activities along side each other,learn new skills, support each other and be positively involved in their own community. http://iowsheds.weebly.com/

A chance to visit the 'Shed' in Newport and get a taster of what Men in Sheds has to offer.
