Mid Cheshire Community Shed

Mid-Cheshire Community Shed CIO,Charity Registration No 1191054. (MCCS) Mid Cheshire Community Shed is a mixed gender charity, open to anybody over the age of 25.We are a local charity based in Northwich and have recently managed to obtain new premises for our charity to operate from, thanks to the help of CWAC. These new premises are at 314 Chester Road, Hartford.We will be offering workshop, crafting and art facilities at the premises and importantly a place where anyone over the age of 25 can come along to meet other people and socialise.Mid-Cheshire Community Shed was formally known as Hartford Men in Sheds ,but unfortunately due to reasons beyond our control our sponsors had to withdraw funding for business reasons, we therefore decided that we would have to set up a new independent shed and hence Mid-Cheshire Community Shed was formed..Hartford Men in Sheds was the first shed of this type to open in the UK.Our aim is to promote social inclusion for people, male and female, within the Cheshire area, from becoming socially excluded by providing a place to go and meet like minded people on a social level. We provide facilities in which they can meet to undertake, jointly or individually, creative, physical or recreational activities. Learn or pass on skills and knowledge and support each other in order to improve the health and wellbeing of our members.Their maybe many reasons why someone would like to join us. It could be as a result of one of more of the following factors: ill health (physical or mental); financial hardship; bereavement or old age; loneliness;, or just plain boredom.  Many surveys from mental health charities are reporting millions of people leading lonely lives on a daily basis.  The effects of the recent Pandemic emphasises the need for charity community groups to provide social interaction to share worries & rebuild identities and friendships.
