Men In Sheds Lancing And Sompting
Mental wellbeing
We are a charity group mostly for older men, helping to boost their mental wellbeing and combating isolation. We work on projects in our community with people young and old, using reclaimed materials.
About this cause
We're a community group challenging isolation and boosting wellbeing in older men within our community, by providing a safe and friendly space. We now lease a second building and will be using this to allow groups such as the Scouts, Cubs, and Nurturing Schools to come along and be taught how to make bird boxes, bug hotels, etc. to build confidence and interest in their surroundings.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We work in our community to help boost mental health and wellbeing, and to also combat isolation. We will soon finish The Cow Shed and will then work with even more people from our community. We will be working with local Scouts, Cubs, and Nurturing Schools, inviting them into The Cow Shed to learn new skills from building planters, bird boxes, bug houses, etc. from reclaimed materials.
