Men In Sheds

Men in Sheds. . . where men can be men and make things. These projects are run by Age UK Cheshire. The shed has a range of activities.

Men in Sheds is a project started by Age UK Cheshire in the autumn of 2008 for older men who feel isolated or are experiencing major life changes.

Since then the project has grown significantly. It has recently been awarded a £500, 000 grant from the National Lottery and gained national coverage on the BBC’s The One Show and Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.

The project is very simple and has one goal, to reach men over 55.

We aim to encourage a shed-like environment with a focus on socialising, sharing skills and learning new ones and of course, all of our activities are accompanied with lots of tea and biscuits!

The opening times are 09. 30 to 16. 00. Monday to Friday
