An Open Door – an insight into Men’s Sheds in Northern Ireland

In this film we hear directly from some men in Northern Ireland and how they have felt a renewed sense of purpose since joining their local shed. We also hear from Dr Davina Carr who has been a significant figure behind a funded Social Prescribing Research Project which has notably shown the vital importance of community group organisations such as the Men’s Sheds and the impact they have on health and wellbeing in individuals such as these men.

It is clear that Men’s Sheds like this play a vital role in allowing individuals to reconnect with others and instilling a sense of identity and belonging to carry them through. For more information on the topics raised in this film please visit: www.mindingyourhead.info
