A safe and happy environment where men are welcome to work on community projects, specific Men’s Shed projects or a project of their choice in their own time and where the only ‘must’ is to observe safe working practices….all in a spirit of mateship.
Winch House and community are keen to provide activity, identity and meaning for vast numbers of older, unemployed, job-redundant, ‘downsized’, isolated, depressed and happily retired, active, creative, enthusiastic men. Men’s Sheds are fast being recognized as vital, viable places to fulfill these needs and provide relaxed, happy creative spaces for men to enjoy.
Activities range from doing woodwork, making children's toys, repairs to community facilities. Anything that the general public can bring we will see if we are able to repair it for them. We are always there to help people out if we are able to it is anything to do with woodwork.
Men's Sheds are for all men of all ages from all different walks of life, everybody is always welcome to come and join in the activities that are going on in the shed at any particular day the shed is open.
