Men`s Shed represents a pro-active form of prevention. An initiative first dreamt up by the Aussies 2 decades ago. They describe it as a `Health through Stealth approach that allows men to help one another come to terms with grief or changes in circumstance however it may have been
caused either through.
The death of a loved one,
Disability,
Divorce,
Redundancy or
Retirement etc.
Men`s Shed can also be used to help combat loneliness, prevent social isolation & lowers the prevalence of suicide among men.
Men`s Shed provides men with various social & therapeutic activities that are designed to create a sense of comradeship & belonging that results in members remaining active contributors to the local community.
Creative
Writing
Project:
Recently we set up a Creative writing Project within the shed. After realising that that we had so many members who wanted to try more creative minded activities rather than the traditional activities associated with men`s Sheds. such as gardening, Woodworking etc.
Some of the things we want to achieve during the first year include the setting up of our very own Pontypridd Men`s Shed Website which will be essential in creating various pamphlets, leaflets, Articles, Blogs, etc. & will help promote the work of Pontypridd Men`s Shed.
Our number 1 goal is to create our very own Podcast.
&in the future we want to start adding video into the mix.
Roll up your sleeves & get stuck in:
