A landmark moment for Men's Sheds across East Hertfordshire & Essex!

Last Friday, we hosted the very first East Herts Shed Network Meeting in Hertford, a great occasion to bring together the people who are the backbone of each Shed.

We shared experiences, celebrated successes, discussed challenges, and explored how we can support each another and collaborate on growing our Sheds.

We'll now be meeting quarterly to keep us all connected - with Ware Men's Shed hosting our next gathering
