Why join us for a place in our Shed
Meet like minded people who share the same interests as you. Pass on your skills and at the same time learn from others in the process. You can also make new friends to share your ideas with, problem solve or simply just have someone there to learn from, listen and talk to.
Connection & Support
Find purpose. Utilise your time, skills and the Shed’s workshop to help and support the local community. Many members make useful items for their families and friends too, and undertake work for non for profit institutions, schools and other individuals in need of a hand.
