Men's Shed Clydach is run by Belinda Gardiner, who took on the project after being inspired by other shed projects across the world.

Twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, the space becomes busy with people socialising and getting involved with crafts, woodworking, and gardening.

The aim of the Shed is to provide a place where people from the community can come together to work on different projects, with a focus to help those struggling with their mental health and feelings of loneliness.

As some of you may know, we have been running the Shed off a diesel generator for the past 3 years. With the rising cost of fuel and increasing power requirements for the various tools we use, as well as the desire to power the Shed using renewable energy, we are looking to connect the Shed to the electrical grid. To do this, we are raising funds to contribute to the cost of the works for National Grid to connect us to the electrical cable just outside our little Shed.

We know times are especially tough at the moment with the cost of living crisis and with the run up to Christmas, so we truly do appreciate any support you can give.
