Sheringham Shed

Through the Lind Trust, Graham provided £200k of funding which purchased the property and met the initial start up costs.

In 2018, Graham's support enabled the development and opening of Sheringham Church’s community shed.

'Sheringham Shed' is a community workshop  in the town centre, established by the town’s Lighthouse Community Church to combat loneliness, isolation and poor mental health in men and women by working on various types of projects together, which has been described as “Community through Activity”.

There is a downstairs workshop for people to take part in activities like woodwork, up-cycling and repairs, whilst the upstairs facility is available for a variety of groups including chat groups, arts and crafts, computer classes and skills courses.

Sheringham Shed is affiliated to the national organisation UK Men's Sheds Association, which was established to provide community spaces for men to connect, converse and create. The activities are often similar to those of garden sheds, but for groups of folk to enjoy together, which helps reduce loneliness and isolation, and simply provide some fun.
