Community Support from The Melton Building Society

£4,666 Donated to Oakham Men in Sheds

The Melton Building Society Charitable Foundation has donated £4,666 to Age UK’s Men in Sheds project in Oakham. Men in Sheds is an innovative project that is designed to support men over 50 who have experienced life changing circumstances such as retirement, redundancy or the death of a partner.

“This donation from the Melton Building Society will make a massive difference to the project, enabling us to purchase the equipment required by the men to start their activities such as woodwork, metalwork, gardening or model building,” said Brian Lee, Co-ordinator, Men in Sheds Rutland. “The new Oakham Shed provides somewhere for older men to go to keep active and put their practical skills to good use, as well as having the chance to develop new friendships, have a coffee and a chat.”

“The Charitable Foundation is delighted to support this local community project to help ensure it is an enduring initiative for the benefit of the community,” said Martin Reason, Charitable Foundation Trustee and Chief Executive, the Melton Building Society.

Men in Sheds meet at Oakham Museum on Wednesdays 11am – 4pm and Fridays 10am – 12pm.  For further information please contact Brian Lee on 07540 413805
