Hafan Cymru and the National Community Lottery are holding a training session for Men’s Sheds. The aim of the session is to help understand the process of making applications to support and finance projects run by individual Men’s Sheds. Staff from the National Community Lottery and Hafan Cymru’s Business Development Manager will deliver this session.

The session will give an overview of grant applications and the various sources of grant funding. There will be practical training on completing grant forms and insights into grant assessments.

This is a free training session for Men’s Sheds members only. You can book you place at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mens-sheds-awards-for-all-grants-training-tickets-77265287555

On November 19 International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.

Men’s Sheds Cymru in acknowledgement of International Men’s Day will celebrate the successes and achievements of the Men’s Sheds movement in Wales.

This will be best demonstrated by members. They will tell their stories and share their journeys of how Men’s Sheds have made a difference and positive change to their personal life and wellbeing.

Come and see the skilled items they make, watch a ‘shedders’ play and take part in a friendly ‘conkers’ competition. If your ‘shed’ would like a space and be part of the event, let us know. ‘Shedders’ will have the chance to talk and network. In addition we will be screening a film from Head in the Sheds, one of our newest groups supported by Maesteg Men’s Shed at Parc Prison.

There will be a welcome by Deputy Minister, Jane Hutt AM and talks by Alan Lawrie Executive Director Cwm Taf Health Board & Sian Morgan Chief Executive Hafan Cymru.
