About this cause

We are an open and expanding group of older men from very diverse backgrounds , and with a range of abilities and disabilities. We have become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, with the aim of setting up a workshop on Hayling Island. We are also a member of the UK Men's Shed Association. The shed will be a place to share tools and resources, learn new skills, or just to enjoy a chat and a cuppa. Members will be able to work on their own or with others, on personal projects or on activities which benefit the Hayling community. We want to be able to help local people through the provision of facilities where they can meet to undertake creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge, and support each other socially.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We will be able to help local older people through the provision of facilities where they can meet to undertake creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge, and support each other socially. We know that many retired men are socially isolated and limited in the activities they can do, and this project will widen horizons and create new friendships.
