Age UK Isle of Wight’s Men in Sheds project in Shanklin is to host an open day and second hand tool sale at YMCA Winchester House, Shanklin on Monday (4th June).
Through generous donations of tools to the Men in Sheds project run by Age UK Isle of Wight, some of the sheds have an excess of certain items. The Shed men will be swapping items with other Sheds in the morning and then the afternoon any excesses will be offered for sale to the public, to raise funds for the Sheds. Some of the Shed men will also be bringing their own tools to sell.
In addition to the tool sale, Shanklin Shed will be open to visitors, so this will be an opportunity to find out what goes on at the Shed. Men from all walks of life meet twice a week to enjoy undertaking projects as well as catching up over a cuppa.
The Shanklin Shed has been undergoing refurbishment since the men took it over several months ago, its completion is imminent, which will provide a community venue for future projects to take place. New members are very welcome, Monday afternoons, 14:00-16:00.
The tool sale and Shanklin Shed open event will take place Monday 4th June between 13:00-14:00 at YMCA Winchester House, Sandown Road, Shanklin (by the railway bridge). For more information, contact Lois at Age UK Isle of Wight on 01983 525282 or go to iowsheds.weebly.com.
