"There was a shed being set up in rural Ireland, in a small town and the guy who was setting it up took a phone call from a guy enquiring about the Sheds one evening. He could tell that the guy at the other end of the phone was a bit shaky and lacking in confidence. He asked him to come along to the next meeting and said he could bring a friend. After a moment’s hesitation the other guy said; ‘I don’t have any’. So quite quickly, he replied, ‘Well, you do now’. And that captures what the shed’s about very quickly for me.” - John Evoy (Founder of Irish Men's Sheds)

Poem: Mens Shed

This Poem was written by a Shed member from another Shed.

I used to be a loner, A little bit depressed,
Some anxiety, some issues, Same as the rest.
My marriage had suffered, Things got tough,
She left, I cried, it was rough.
But all that time, there was a place
Some where to go and show my face.
Whether sad or blue, rich or poor,
They always had an open door.
They helped me live as a single man.
They showed me love, they showed me I can.
They show you support they never question.
They taught me some valuable lessons.
I can do crafts, I can carve wood.
I mow the lawn, though, not as much as I should.
I now have a smile when I walk through the door.
My eyes are no longer glued to the floor.
It's fun, it's friendly and everyone can see.
Just what the Mens Shed means to me.
