🧡 It's , and we'd like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who support UK Men’s Sheds Association.

Our Trustees, Ambassadors, and everyone who gives their time behind the scenes to help the movement grow. Whether you're visiting Sheds, sharing your experience, supporting events, representing us in your community or helping shape what comes next, we couldn't do it without you.

Of course, we know that's only part of the story.

Across the UK, Sheds themselves are powered by volunteers. The people who manage them, open up in the morning, organise activities, look after the tools, sort the paperwork, make the tea, welcome new members and somehow keep everything running week after week.

Many Sheds are run entirely by volunteers. Others would struggle to function without them.

The thing about Shed volunteers is that they rarely make a fuss. They just get on with it.

So this Volunteers' Week, here's a huge thank you to every single one of you. The time you give, the skills you share and the welcome you offer make a real difference to people's lives.

👇 We'd love to hear about the volunteers in your Shed.

Who's the person that keeps everything ticking over? Give them a shout out in the comments and let's show them some appreciation.

People come to Men’s Sheds for many different reasons 💛

Some come for the woodworking, others to learn new skills. Some come for the tea, conversation and camaraderie.

But whatever brings people through the door, the positive impact that Sheds can have on wellbeing, connection and community is clear:

• 96% of Shedders felt less lonely after joining a Men’s Shed
• 89% reported feeling less depressed
• 75% reported feeling less anxious
• 97% made new friends after joining a Men’s Shed
• 88% felt more connected to their community

At UK Men’s Sheds Association, we see every day how important connection, purpose, friendship and community can be 💛

The Shedders started work today constructing the new signposts to be used during community events on the Common. Had a catch up first washed down with lots of tea and slices of homemade marmalade and ginger cake.
