UK Men’s Sheds Association has another exciting partnership to announce — this time with LOXKIN.
LOXKIN is a UK social enterprise producing natural wood finishes made from hemp seed oil, with a mission to help keep wood in use for longer through care, maintenance, repair and restoration. Their focus on repair, restoration and making things that last makes them a natural fit for the Men’s Sheds movement.
The great news is that UKMSA member Sheds can now benefit from an exclusive 40% discount on LOXKIN products.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with the UK Men’s Sheds Association because they embody many of the values that sit at the heart of LOXKIN. Across the country, Sheds are extending the life of materials through repair, restoration and making, while also creating spaces where skills, stories and friendships are shared. In many ways, they’re already demonstrating the principles of a circular economy in action.
Beyond the practical work, there’s something deeply valuable in creating and caring for objects that are built to last. That connection to materials, craftsmanship and the natural world can have a powerful impact on wellbeing, helping people find purpose, pride and connection through making. We’re excited to support Sheds across the UK and explore how, together, we can celebrate and strengthen these local circular communities.”
– The LOXKIN Team
“UKMSA are excited to be partnering with LOXKIN to support UK Men’s Shed Association member Sheds with many of the fabulous projects they make – many from repurposed materials. Being environmentally sensitive and ensuring that products and the environment is healthy for Shedders is important for lots of Sheds.
LOXKIN’s support for Sheds, alongside the 40% discount offered for UKMSA member Sheds, will encourage creating environmentally sensitive projects while taking care of the wellbeing of the hands who make them.”
– Laura Winkley, UKMSA Membership Manager
We’re looking forward to seeing the projects, repairs, restorations and creations this partnership helps inspire in Sheds across the UK.
