In the charity's own words
We provide a community space, workshop activities and facilities to combat isolationism through attendance and knowledge sharing. We have a comprehensive wood working workshop, and hope to expand into many other interests such as metal working, ceramics, textiles etc to offer a wider set of interests to the Taunton Community. The shed is driven by the knowledge and experience of its members.
