North Belfast Men’s Shed is a cross-community project based in Edenderry Industrial Estate on the Crumlin Road. It is funded by the Big Lottery “People and Community” project, and was established in 2012 to help to tackle the impact of social isolation among older men. It has successfully broken down the barriers to older men getting involved in community activities and volunteering. Men aged 18 years and over can come together to share skills, learn new ones, work on community projects / projects of their own and, at the same time, socialise and have fun and a cup of tea. The Shed is open from Monday to Friday on a drop in basis. Anyone wanting to get involved can call 028 90322289. |
