The Shed


We promote and facilitate mental well-being in Swindon by providing welcoming, safe and supportive environments to connect with others, be active, learn new skills and share knowledge/give to others through renewing, repairing and re-using materials which would otherwise go to landfill.

We focus on men’s well-being but here to encourage everyone from all parts of the community to learn and share skills in a lively, friendly atmosphere.
