Knighton Mens Shed

We operate a workshop environment for men who suffer from isolation or loneliness issues by offering friendship and support. We interact with other local charities providing help and support. The SHED has developed into a full joinery workshop where we work together offering a tool renovation and sharpening service. We make items for sale in our showroom and at various locations in the area.
