Find out about new Frome Women’s Shed group

The hugely successful ‘Men’s Shed’ movement in Australia has spread in recent years to Britain, and our own Men’s Shed has been running now for four years, with numbers of men making, mending, learning, creating, talking, relaxing and drinking tea at the Welshmill venue growing steadily.

There are still so many people in Frome who could benefit from the Shed, so they want to get the word out.

Now, local women want to form their own group, with timing and activities – all to be decided by the members – that suit their particular needs.

A public meeting will take place at the Cheese and Grain on Monday 19th March, from 1.30pm to 3.00pm, where the plan will be outlined, and local people can contribute their ideas and needs to the mix.

Ros from the group says, “There will be speakers from existing Women’s sheds, (sometimes known as ‘She Sheds’), but your input is needed to make this a fully ‘Frome-shaped’ adventure.

“Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting, whether you think you may join as a member working in the Shed; as a supporter, providing skills, training or facilities for the group; as another community organisation possibly collaborating with the Women’s Shed to benefit the community; or if you’re ‘just interested’.”
