Profile:

We are a charity that supports Men’s Sheds in Northern Ireland: small independently-run, grassroots community groups that enrich communities, care for nature and preserve heritage – all the while saving lives. We have a network of over 120 independently-run Men’s Sheds who we support.

We are looking for companies who would like to partner with us to, for example:
• support Men’s Shed leaders and help Men’s Sheds boost their membership through skills development, business knowledge or digital empowerment.
• improve biodiversity in communities across Northern Ireland by supporting Men’s Sheds to nurture their places and spaces, incorporating sustainable horticultural practice.
• create opportunities for health and wellbeing improvement for groups that experience health inequalities (i.e. older men and disabled men)
• prevent materials going to landfill, diverting them to Men’s Sheds to be re-purposed
• donate supplies, tools or equipment to help Men’s Sheds do more
• create opportunities for men to engage with art, explore their heritage and connect with/ learn from other cultures
• utilise Men’s Sheds skills as part of an ethical supply chain strategy.
• And more – get in touch and we will happily sit down with you to explore creative ideas for working together.
