Cloughmills Men’s Shed, Co Antrim, was set up two years ago, by members of the Cloughmills Community Action Team. The group’s main activities are woodturning and growing fruit and vegetables. Shed member Jim Whitten says this accentuates the “social and therapeutic value of being outdoors”. The men’s shed is closely linked with community, with several members also on the board of Cloughmills Community Action Team. The shed also provides the local hanging baskets and flowerbeds for the village of Cloughmills.
