Projects
A Men’s Shed is a giant extension of the Shed at the bottom of your garden where people go to potter around and generally please themselves. However the Men’s Sheds as now existing are fundamentally different in that one of its many aims is to combat loneliness and isolation and bring people together in the community to socialise, learn new skills and crafts or enhance old one’s benefiting the individual and the local community.
The Wells Community Shed members will undertake Projects which are of benefit to members themselves, other groups and the broader community. Shed Members can bring their own projects plus non-Shed people can request Repairs and/or Restoration of family items to be returned.
The range of Projects under consideration is quite extensive and at the core will be creating Projects from scratch plus furniture repair and restoration on quality furniture but all Projects will be evaluated depending on scale, skills required, tools, materials and suitability.
