NORTH BELFAST MEN’S SHED

North Belfast Men’s Shed is a cross community project based in Edenderry Industrial Estate on the Crumlin Road. The project is funded by the Big Lottery “People and Community” project and was established in 2012 to help tackle the impact of social isolation amongst older men and 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 or projects of their own and at the same time socialise and have fun and a cup of tea. The project is open Monday to Friday on a drop in basis.  Anyone wanting to get involved can call 028 90322289
