The Shedder we meet today is a SHE SHEDDER. Shedders come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They also come in a variety of gear, some scruffy although we all scrub up well. Early this year a stranger arrived at the Whitby Shed bearing gifts of all sorts (though…
This is the first of a year long series of introductions to Shedders (and others related to our Sheds). Sheds have got talent, some of which (maybe most!) is not related to Shed skills. We have at least two Shed poets, Roger Gould and Brian Cuffley. Brian took up writing…
A good time was had by folk meeting from the different Sheds at Eskmouth Hall. Lot’s of food, discovering brother and sister Shedders, reminiscing the past 3 years, grumbling about the 95 bus. Thanks to Marie for masterminding the food, Roger for acting as food Sherpa (and making the two…
Thoroughly worthwhile cross support between Shed and Youth Justice programme. There have been two Shed work sessions (in Littlebeck and in Whitby) involving reparation by a young man towards a victim. The agreement was he make two bird boxes, one for Danby Forest and the other as an item that…

Sheds of our making and hundreds of others in UK and worldwide have proven, testified success. Not us blowing our own trumpets, but that is what Shedders say and well-being agencies of all kinds. Thanks to our Aussie cousins. The success is due to Sheds usually dealing with a very…
Last Saturday, ShedFest 2018 – the national Men’s Shed get together – was held in Worcester. Below are some photographs of the event. Now some pictures of this week at Sheds so far.
It really is pleasing to see Shedders stuck in to focused work. They do chew the cud quite a but when the camera comes out they know it’s time to get their heads down and appear to work. Here are some shots from Staithes and Whitby this week. Verbal reports…
Today is 11 11 18 100 years after the end of the First World War. It is not a celebration, of course, but a Remembrance of lives lost in two World Wars and more. This morning at the War Memorial in Sleights people gathered to reflect that “greater love has…
