Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Oswestry Mens Shed provides a place for men who may be isolated or lonely to gather together for purposeful and meaningful activities. We are in the process of building a large workshop, a project which, in itself, has provided a satisfying and successful project for the Members. We have given presentations about our activity to local Councils (Whittington) and in a Public Meeting (Oswestry).
