knowledge and skill sharing, a meeting place to share worries and concerns – as well as a lot of laughter.

Babergh District Council Chair, Cllr Malvisi, said “The Stour Valley Men’s Shed is going from strength to strength, but there is still a lot to do like making it watertight for this winter, which is why I hope the funds raised will go some way toward that goal.”

“This past year I have got to know many of the members, and they have left me feeling very humbled at their achievements. I have been honoured to help them.”

Stour Valley Men’s Shed Chairman, Adrian Beckham, said: “I would like to express on behalf of all at the SVMS our thanks and gratitude for all the help and advice we have received.

Very rarely nowadays, do those traditional roles all come together in one week, as much more time is spent – as with many in work – on emails, calls, WhatsApp etc in the ordinary day to day business of running an organisation and maintaining buildings.
