All of us here at the West Mid Showground are thrilled to congratulate Shrewsbury Men’s Shed based here at the showground, for reaching the 2024 Awards finals of the UK Men's Sheds Association! 👏
With record entries from across the UK, this year’s competition is fierce. No matter the outcome at the UK Parliament House of Commons on November 19th, we couldn’t be prouder of our Shedders and the remarkable impact they make in our community.
This recognition is so well deserved - well done!

Let’s make this 150th celebration one to remember! 🎊
We have all heard that men don't cry.
Well, we say - cry.
With a lot of men in farming suffering from mental health issues and loneliness, we support our local Shrewsbury Men’s Shed found right here at the showground.
The Men's Shed is pivotal in:
🧍♂️Creating a safe space for men to talk to other men
🧍♂️Teaching and developing new skills that go back into the community through their partnership with The Rural Charity .
🧍♂️Fostering a sense of belonging and friendship that support other men and the local community.
🧍♂️Passing on valuable trades to the younger generation.
Take a minute to hear what Geoff has to say about becoming a member with the Men's Shed.
Last week, we asked you what Deb from The Rural Charity and Geoff from Shrewsbury Men’s Shed have in common.
The answer? An amazing personality! 😀
But more importantly, they work together to help the community through the Rural Charity Grant.
How?
Deb is the manager of the Rural Charity shops where a great team work across seven shops to ensure funds are available to distribute to local community groups through the rural charity grant.
The West Mid Showground is home to The Men's Shed, where skilled members help bring projects to life that have received funding from the Rural Charity grant, like the Clunbury Primary School throne.
So by you donating your goods or purchasing items from your local Rural Charity shop, you are ensuring the cycle of support continues within the community. 🏅
