We suppport the development and sustainability of the Men's Sheds in Ireland. The Sheds in Ireland are based directly on the Men's Sheds in Australia where the movement began.

What is a Men's Shed?
A Men's Shed is a dedicated, friendly and welcoming meeting place where men jcome together and undertake a variety of mutually agreed activities. Men’s Sheds are open to all men regardless of age, background or ability. It is a place where you can share your skills and knowledge with others, learn new skills and develop your old skills. New members are always welcome and can be assured that there is something of interest for everyone as the men have ownership of the projects and decide their own programme of events. The main objective of a Men's Shed is to enhance the health and well being of the participating men.

A Men's Shed can be easily set up in any community where men with time on their hands can come together to share their skills, knowledge, creativity, experiences, enthusiasm, etc in a way that enriches their lives and also contributes to their communities.
