The UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) supports a growing network of over 1,000 Men’s Sheds. Sheds are social and creative community spaces where Shed members (Shedders) come together to make, repair, repurpose, and connect.

Men’s Sheds across the UK show how positive social outlets can change lives for the better. They improve physical and mental wellbeing and are linked with increased moderation of alcohol consumption among older men as they navigate life changes including retirement and changing social and family relationships. And some Shedders have reported how involvement has helped moderate their alcohol consumption ¹.
