The Purpose of ‘Mens Sheds’ in Australia

Hi Sharon
Could i please attend?
Also i have been keeping an eye on your web site and blogs, how marvelous you are, your dedication to helping others is outstanding. I am proud and privileged to have met you.
I love the shed idea and would like to be involved in any developments. I will ask the retired ones at the local Cricket club.
Big Hug

Hiya Sue, I am so chuffed you are reading my posts : – ) Such kind and encouraging words, thank you so much. It was an honour to meet you to. We all do our bit to try and make a difference. Must say I started this blog as part of my Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship. I never expected the interest that it has received. Within 4 weeks of it going live 800 people are following it from various countries, this includes people bereaved by suicide, clinicians and researchers.
I am so pleased you like the idea of the men’s sheds. That’s a fantastic idea contacting the people in your local cricket club. It just needs someone to plant a few seeds and I am sure this idea will flourish nationally. Would love to know how you go on. I could put you in contact with Barry McGale in Northern Ireland who is a clinician, been over to Oz and seen the men’s sheds – plus they have them over in Northern Ireland.
I have put you on the list of attendees for the suicide bereavement conference. I look forward to seeing you September.
Take care
Sharon x
