The Men's Shed concept started in Australia and rapidly spread all over the world as a place where men could meet up to make and mend anything from a bird box to a computer.
It is a meeting place where men make friends and discuss issues amongst likeminded members, which they may not otherwise discuss.
It’s a place where skills learnt from years of experience working in a myriad of occupations can be used for the benefit of others in the community.
It’s a place where a man of any ability can be given the opportunity to fulfil an ambition whilst being supported by others with skills or experience.
We are just getting started, looking for our first permanent base, donations and to grow our membership.
Our full name is Chesterfords Community Men’s Shed but we shorten that to Chesterfords Shed. The Chesterfords (Great Chesterford and Little Chesterford) can be found in the northernmost part of Essex.
As a Men's Shed we aim to serve the communities of the Chesterfords and our local villages.
If you're interested in getting involved with the shed, have a project we could help with, or could donate funds or equipment, please come along to a meeting, or send a message to chesterfords.shed@gmail.com
