Hexham's Men's Shed

It was great to visit Hexham's Men's Shed at the No. 28 Community House with local Councillor Cath Homer, where I was able to thank the Tynedale Lions for their support with this fantastic project which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of men living in the area. The Men's Shed is a community space for men to get together, reducing social isolation and promoting wellbeing and positive mental health. The Tynedale Lions have been the driving force behind the project, raising over £4000 in the last 18 months.

I am so impressed by the incredible work that has been done in setting up the Men's Shed in Hexham and I have no doubt that this will be a very important part of the Hexham community. I would encourage you to find out more about how you can get involved by visiting here-
