MAYFACS (Mayfield And Five Ashes Community Services) is a registered charity and opened our community Shed in 2021 under our MAYFACS umbrella, with a workshop area and social space. Our Community Garden followed, which incorporates our Bee Hives and Orchard. The MAYFACS Shed and Community Garden is an opportunity
for anyone to come along, meet some friendly people, learn
new skills or share your o
wn skills, and spend time in the
workshops or outdoor spaces on your own personal projects
or community projects. You do not need to have any experience in woodwork or even
have picked up a tool at all! We have Shedders happy to
share skills and experience, as well as lots of different
activities you can get involved in from our well-equipped
workshop, community garden and orchard, beekeeping and
other skills workshops available. Or if you have skills you
would love to share with like-minded people, come and join
us and share your knowledge. Becoming a Shedder at MAYFACS Community Shed brings many

-Access to tools and equipment in a safe and communal
environment
