In the charity's own words
A place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending. You can usually find at the Aldridge Shed woodworking, repairing and restoring, model boat building, pen making etc. Whatever the activity, the essence is not a building, but the connections and relationships between its members.
