In the charity's own words
The Port Men in Sheds seeks to address and alleviate the damaging health and mental illness consequences brought about by social isolation in older men often brought about by retirement, ill health and bereavement. We achieve this objective by operating a large workshop and social facility in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, where men can come together and socialise in a creative communal workshop space.
