Dawlish Men’s Shed

We are very grateful to the Strand centre, without them we wouldn’t be able to function and do what we do. 👍🏼 

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that we were awarded a Southern Coop Winter Fund (2024-25). Grants like these provide essential lifelines, enabling us to create inclusive spaces, combat isolation, and foster community resilience during challenging times. Some of this funding provided essential kitchen equipment upgrades (featured): we purchased a commercial food processor, professional stainless steel pots and pans, digital food scales, and food safety tools.

Many, many thanks to Neighbourly and Southern Co-op !

Hi there, I apologise for the shameless begging in advance I wondered if there is anyone out there who may have a length (around 1m) kitchen worktop off cut they don’t need.
We were donated some under unit Cupboards but need something to top them with.
Also, if you have any roofing felt or rubber going spare that’lle be fantastic as well.

Thank you in advance.@ 👍🏼

One of our new members is a former ship builder. He has built this to demonstrate how a larger model ship would be made… 👍🏼🚢🪚🗜️✏️
