Fethard Men’s Shed ask for your support
Fethard Men's Shed GoFundMe page CLICK HERE
Fethard Men’s Shed are appealing to everyone to please give your support to us at the Men's Shed situated at Fethard Town Park. We have now set up our own GoFundMe appeal to raise essential funds for installation of two basic but essential needs, running water and electricity, which are both vital for the survival of our Men’s Shed going forward.
We aim to raise €15,000 to €20,000 to cover the costs of installing electricity and water to our premises. Without these vital connections to work lighting, heating, power for tools, and running water for comfort and hygiene, the future of the Men's Shed is at risk. It will also mean so much for our members’ wellbeing and health.
We feel the Men's Shed, plays a crucial role in supporting men's health and wellbeing, particularly in rural communities. They help combat isolation, depression, and loneliness by giving men purpose, routine, and companionship. Therefore, your donation no matter how small, will help secure the future of Men's Shed Fethard and ensure that we provide this vital space for years to come. GoFundMe Page CLICK HERE
