Poole Men's Shed fosters a greater sense of community where men can come together and work on practical projects in a shared workshop. Members of Poole Men's Shed have the opportunity to learn new skills, socialise with like-minded people and find a greater sense of purpose.


The Men's Shed movement began in Australia, as men started to meet regularly to work on DIY projects. Many older men lose some sense of purpose with the loss of their work role, status, workmates, income etc and can find themselves disengaged from their community if the pub or sports is not their thing. Men with their own shed have often developed their skills and interests there but in a larger facility, with better or more equipment, with skills you can develop with others and jobs you can do for the community a Men's Shed offers something new. Finding a way of working, alongside others and with a purpose in view but without imposed demands can be exactly what many men need.


Poole Men's Shed can be found at Limelights Centre, Learoyd Road, Poole, BH17 8PJ, at 10am to 1pm on Wednesday mornings.
