Men’s Shed
Becoming a member of a Community Men’s Shed gives a man that safe and busy environment where he can find many of these things in an atmosphere of friendship. And, importantly, there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a chat and a cuppa if that is all they’re looking for. Members of Men’s Sheds can come from all walks of life – the bond that unites them is that they are men with time on their hands and they would like something meaningful to do with that time.
The first cabbage from Men’s Shed garden
In operation since 2016, the Roundwood Men’s Shed is located at Pat Carr’s place in Knockraheen and the members come together every Tuesday from 10 a.m. onwards. New members are always welcome. Transport to the Shed can be arranged if this is a problem.
The Shedders is a very busy place:
- We have started a garden, a water harvesting initiative and assisted with the ‘water butt’ project operated by Roundwood and District Community Council.
- We have also erected a backdrop to the 1916 commemorative plaque beside the Garda station in Roundwood.
- We have constructed and erected a small wooden gate at the entrance to a Holy Well in Glasnamullen.
If you are interested or know someone who might benefit from participating in the shed, please feel free to call at any time for further information.
