We were delighted to welcome the Sheriff of Chester, Councillor Allan Jones, to The Port Men in Sheds recently.

Councillor Jones spent over an hour and a half touring our facilities, learning about the wide range of activities we offer, and chatting with many of our members. He was very impressed by the work being carried out and the positive impact the Shed has on the lives of local men.

We would like to thank Councillor Jones for his time, interest, encouragement and support. It was a pleasure to show him around and share the story of The Port Men in Sheds.

🎉 £1,000 Grant Awarded to The Port Men in Sheds 🎉

One of our Trustees and oir Shed Administrator recently visited the Pavers shoe store at Burleydam Nurseries to collect a cheque for £1,000, generously awarded to The Port Men in Sheds by the Pavers Foundation.

The Pavers Foundation supports community organisations through gifts and grants, and we were fortunate enough to be selected thanks to one of our members, Paul Heeny, who completed an application on our behalf.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Pavers Foundation and Kate, the store manager, for this wonderful award. Funding such as this helps us continue providing friendship, support, activities and opportunities for our members.

A special thank you also goes to Paul for taking the time to submit the application and helping secure this fantastic boost for our charity.

Another string to our bow at The Port Men in Sheds is our Gardening Group 🌱🍅🥕

A small group of our members have been busy growing all sorts of fruit and vegetables at our Shed-quarters. Some of the produce will even be used in our kitchen to help provide meals for our members across the week.

The gardening group is a great way to enjoy some fresh air, companionship, gentle activity and plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you are an experienced gardener or simply enjoy pottering about outdoors, everyone is welcome.

If you know any men who may enjoy joining our “Garden Gang”, please send them along for a brew and a chat.

🕣 Open Monday to Friday – 8.30am until 3.30pm

At The Port Men in Sheds, it’s not just about the projects and activities — it’s also about friendship, companionship and sharing time together around the table. 🍳☕🥪

Thanks to Jim and Malcolm, members can enjoy a full English breakfast on a Monday, bacon and sausage batches on a Wednesday, along with lunches on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Their hard-working team of assistants help keep everyone well fed across the week!

We’re pleased to say that our chefs have successfully completed their food hygiene training and the kitchen has also been inspected by the Health & Hygiene Team from Cheshire West and Chester Council. 👨‍🍳✅

For some members who live alone, preparing meals for one can sometimes feel like too much effort. Others simply enjoy the chance to sit down, have a meal with friends and enjoy the social side of The Shed. And for many, it’s a welcome alternative to making sandwiches at home every day.

The kitchen refurbishment was made possible thanks to a generous donation from 🌟The Asda Foundation🌟, helping us create a welcoming and practical space for members to enjoy.

Our thanks again to Jim, Malcolm and all of their assistants for the fantastic work they do each week supporting members of The Port Men in Sheds. 👏

Always good to see you. Thank you very much for your time and support.

🔧 Refurbished Roller Raises Funds 🔧

Members of The Port Men in Sheds were recently gifted an old garden roller that was in need of a little TLC.

After some hard work, the roller was cleaned, oiled, tidied up and even fitted with a brand new handle made by members in the workshop. Once restored, the roller was put up for sale… and sold within minutes! 👏

The money raised will help support the ongoing work of The Port Men in Sheds Charity and the activities, companionship and support it provides for members across the community.

Another fantastic example of recycling, restoring and teamwork at The Shed! 🌟
