Huddersfield Men’s Shed

Huddersfield Men’s Shed  

Gez Walsh shares his story of how the Huddersfield Men’s Shed has grown since it was set up in 2016.

What started out as a small group of men meeting for a cuppa and a bit of a chat has evolved to offer a woodworking room, upholstery room, bike maintenance, gardening, art computers and much more – with chat and a cuppa still a key feature of the Shed.

Gez candidly shares his experience of volunteering at the Shed and talks about the help the Shed provides to men, some of whom are struggling with loneliness and addiction.

Hear from volunteers and Shed members about how going to a Men’s Shed has helped them on this video from the Huddersfield Examiner.
