Garden Shed

Men's Sheds

Men’s Sheds (or Sheds) are similar to garden sheds – a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending.

 

The difference is that garden sheds and their activities are often solitary in nature while Men’s Sheds are the opposite.

Cup of Coffee

Death Café

Death Café is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. 

 

Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.​​
