‘The Men’s Sheds’ organisation started in Australia but is now well established in the UK. There are many regional and local groups who offer practical, skill based support to mainly men who would otherwise work alone. 

Yate Town Council were instrumental in initiating the Yate Men’s Shed group. Their vision brought us together at a public meeting and they continue to support us as we become established. 

The Warmley shed works within the Kingswood museum and  supports a group who repair tools - to be sent to developing countries.
