MEN IN SHEDS MK
Men in Sheds MK is primarily aimed at men; many are retired or not working. It works in an informal way and is open up to four days a week. Members have the use of workshop facilities for wood and metal work, crafts, model making, art and electronic projects. We undertake a wide range of construction activities: making things for individual members and to fulfil commissions from the community.
