UK Men’s Sheds Association is the support body for Men’s Sheds across the UK.

We provide support in a number of ways to individuals and groups wanting to start Sheds.

Want to find an existing shed?

Our network of Men’s Sheds is fast spreading across the UK and awaiting members now.
If you’ve been looking for a place to make friends, hone your skills and stay out of trouble, see if there’s a Shed up and running near you.

Shed Support

We support all Sheds, but in particular we can help you on your way to starting your own Shed. Essentially, you can start and register your Shed with or without becoming an official Member, though the Membership benefits are superb. 

REGISTER YOUR SHED AND BECOME A MEMBER.

More general guidance on setting up an organisation is also often available locally through voluntary sector support organisations and sometimes from community development staff provided in local or county councils. Other resources are available, such as the National Council for Voluntary Organisation’s (NCVO) knowledge bank. NCVO membership is free for small organisations.

In addition to written advice, the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) staff can offer one-to-one advice, as can experienced regional volunteer Ambassadors who have all run their own Sheds.

Later on, if you become a Member Shed, you’ll get more detailed support; all the resources you need to develop and sustain a thriving Men’s Shed exclusive benefits including discounts on tools and equipment.

Happy Shedding!
