Reading Men’s Shed is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). <\/span><\/h3>\n

Our income comes largely from our members, from the sale of surplus donated tools and items made by our members for local craft events.<\/p>\n

We welcome sponsorship and donations.\u00a0 Due to shortage of storage space, we are currently unable to accept donations of hand tools or power tools.\u00a0 Machine tools, wood and other materials are useful but only by arrangement.<\/p>\n

Our landlord wants to develop the site of the workshop, but has no fixed timetable, so we are raising funds to buy suitable premises or a site where we could build a workshop.<\/p>\n

Donations to our premises fund will be especially welcomed.<\/p>\n

If you would like to discuss or provide financial support, please email treasurer@readingmensshed.org.uk<\/p>\n
