Menz Shed in the News

Robin is a keen member of the local Menz Shed and they have been in the local newspaper this week.  They have been working through the year to make wooden toys for children at Christmas, some families are finding it a struggle at this time of the year.  The members have just handed over 150 wooden toys to the charity which distributes them.  No privacy is breached when the toys are passed on by the charity, all that is needed is the child’s age and gender so the present provided is appropriate.

Toys made for children who may miss out at Christmas

The range of wooden toys made include trucks, tractors, pull along animals, aeroplanes, dolls clotheslines with miniature pegs, and dolls cots.  A member’s wife also makes mattresses, blankets and sleeping bags to go with the cots.

Excellent work, guys!
It's a lovely thing to do, and I bet for all of you, it brings back memories of your own kids playing with things you or your dads made.
