Location: The main aim of the Clyde Coast & Cumbraes Men's Shed is to help improve men’s mental health and wellbeing by providing a venue where men can choose to either work, relax, make and repair things, pursue hobbies and pastimes, get practical help with projects, and share & learn new skills. Perhaps more importantly, it’s a place where men can make new friends, have a cuppa, a chat, a laugh, and get out of the house for a while. We believe that all of the above will help to combat feelings of loneliness and isolation, and will generally re-engage men back into our community.
What a BRILLIANT idea!! The young men will learn practical skills that will be useful in later life. Good luck with this venture!!
Since joining the men's shed I've seen a new purpose in my life, and I've started making friends again at age 56
