THE Men in Sheds initiative in Bolton has long been a great success.
The town currently has five groups – in Farnworth, Breightmet, Bury Road, Tonge Moor and Harwood – and helps socially isolated men who have problems like depression and bereavement.
The groups all provide a community workshop where the men, mainly older, can work on projects like woodwork, joinery and gardening.
They’re hoping for a national grant towards further development so fingers crossed that they get it.
Something that brings people together in this positive way, offering activities and friendship with like-minded individuals is really worthwhile and deserves financial help.
