Very pleased to add my support to the Men in Sheds initiative. The project from Age UK Bromley & Greenwich gives older men the opportunity to engage with the wider community by putting to good use the skills they have developed across their lives, particularly woodwork. The “Shedders” talk movingly about what the scheme means to them and how it enables them to help other people in this short video…
It’s marvellous to see that the group have made a shortlist for a National Lottery Good Causes Award but they need your support to clinch the funding. Visit this webpage and follow the links to vote for them to receiving lottery backing:

I should also take the opportunity to praise the good of Age UK Bromley & Greenwich more generally. They recently opened a new shop and information hub in Powis Street, which I was pleased to visit on the day of its official opening. It’s a great place to visit for information about what’s available for our older citizens.
