About Men’s Sheds
Men’s Sheds were originally developed in Australia in the 1980s as non-profit groups that provide a local space for woodwork and socialisation, with the aim of improving the overall health and wellbeing of men. The concept developed into the idea that ‘Men don’t talk face to face, they talk shoulder to shoulder’ meaning men build more meaningful connections when actively working or engaging in another activity.
Sheds then began to develop as a place for retired men to socialise and re-discover a sense of purpose. The benefits of Sheds, both physically and mentally, could not be predicted, and the concept soon spread globally.
With funding from the Rayne Foundation and PHA, Groundwork NI supports over 100 sheds across NI, but demand for support is growing.
