Subscriber only Operating out of a small facility without power or toilets for more than three years hindered Baffle Creek Men s Shed s development and progress. So after two years of planning and grant applications, president Neil Connor said they were looking forward to establishing their official club , aimed at fostering friendships and helping the community. Currently, Mr Connor said the Men s Shed had about 30 members from Rules Beach, Baffle Creek, Rosedale, Mt Maria, Deepwater and Wartburg, who greatly benefited from the mateship and work done by the organisation. Some of our members are quite isolated and live by themselves out in the scrub and a lot of them are a bit sad as they ve lost their partners, he said.
A VITAL community hub which helped to reduce isolation and loneliness in 2020 is set to support even more people this year. The team at Inverclyde Shed got involved in a myriad of eco-focused activities in communities across the district last year. Shed members didn t let the coronavirus pandemic stop them from keeping in touch and working on lots of different initiatives. From building orchards and setting up a digital shed, to delivering vegetables to the elderly and creating a remembrance garden, the team s dedication made life better for hundreds of people. Chairman Bruce Newlands says the Shed - crowned Scottish Men s Shed Association Shed of the Year in October - is a community where people can be comfortable and share their interests.
