The Men in Sheds project was started in Australia, and is a means for elderly men to be able to get together and socialise, and maybe to turn their hand to a new skill in woodworking, or to teach others what they already know.
The idea has spread around the world, and there are a number of groups that have been set up in the UK, including a successful group that has been running a few years in Caterham.
A new group is just being set up in Oxted, co-ordinated by the Woodhouse Centre.
It's an excellent idea, giving a focus to many people later in life and providing a much needed place to socialise and be around others with similar interests.
This month's donation has been given towards the setting up of the group, in the hope that enough volunteers and members can come forward to make the idea a reality.
