🌟 Welcome to The Shed and Shop! 🌟
Hi everyone! I’m excited to introduce The Shed and Shop—a community-focused project designed to bring people together through repair, reuse, and support.
This space will be for everyone, but especially those who need it most—the lonely, the elderly, and people facing mental health challenges. I know from experience how important it is to have a sense of purpose and community, and that’s exactly what I want to create.
What’s the plan?
🔧 A repair workshop – Teaching skills, fixing broken items, and giving things a second life. I’ll also be running classes on how to repair everyday items.
🛍 An honesty shop – Providing affordable essentials and supporting local producers.
♻ Scrap for Food initiative – A scheme where people can trade scrap items for food or free repairs.
🚻 Public toilet upkeep – Keeping a vital community service open.
How can you help?
I’m currently repairing items from home while waiting for Council approval to use a local building. Once I get the go-ahead, I’ll be looking for volunteers to help bring this vision to life.
In the meantime, I’m raising funds and looking for donations of:
🔹 Old furniture
🔹 Broken or unwanted tools
🔹 Old engines, lawnmowers, and mechanical parts
🔹 Electrical items, including computers and appliances
🔹 Scrap metal and materials that can be reused or repaired
If you have anything to donate or want to support in any way, please get in touch. Every little bit helps!
Thank you for your support—I can’t wait to build something special together! ❤️
