The Shed

Funded by North Tyneside CCG, we recently converted a disused garage into a Mens Community Shed where the focus is on improving the health and wellbeing of men in North Tyneside. The first of its kind in North Tyneside to be registered with Men Shed UK, The Shed is somewhere for men to meet, socialise, skill-share and take part in creative, mending and upcycling woodwork activities. The emphasis is on encouraging community involvement by older, bereaved, retired, veterans or carers, those socially isolated or in health recovery. Whilst men are encouraged as main beneficiaries of The Shed, women are also very welcome. We offer a 6 week induction into the use of woodworking tools, machinery and materials before you are offered a place in The Shed.
