Our friendly shed is a place where like-minded people gather together to socialise, share skills and learn new ones.

After seeing a documentary on TV about a project called Men in Sheds in Australia, Barry Cooper, decided Hull needed a Shed. Having suffered from multiple strokes, Barry, a retired chef, thought the project would help local men suffering from social isolation and loneliness due to illness, bereavement, retirement or financial problems, find new hobbies and make new friends.

With a variety of activities on offer, we really to think there’s something for everyone and we’re always open to suggestions! Our shed is very much guided by our members and will naturally evolve as it develops.
