'I started coming to Men’s Shed in 2015 when it was first introduced to me at a recovery group I attend at Dykebar Hospital. I was an alcoholic for many years. When I first stopped drinking there wasn’t a lot out there in terms of support, that’s why I am so thankful for groups like the Recovery Cafe and Men’s Shed, they have given me a sense of purpose and have been a great resource to me for both my mental and emotional well-being. Men’s Shed, for me, is the reason I look forward to getting out of bed on a Monday morning to socialise and learn and build new relationships with people.'
