Sponsor a Shedder
Give the Gift of Friendship & Purpose
Sponsor a Shedder is a donation programme that helps support people attending weekly craft and woodworking sessions at The Hut. Your contribution helps provide a welcoming space where Shedders can enjoy activities, learn new skills, build friendships and feel connected to their community.
Your support directly transforms lives for over-50s in Barnsley:
- Connection & Friendship: Help combat social isolation by creating welcoming spaces where people can build friendships and feel part of a community.
- Creativity & Skills: Support Shedders to learn new skills, work with tools and materials, and take pride in what they create.
- Confidence & Wellbeing:Meaningful activities can boost confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing.
- Community Impact: Your donation helps create stronger, happier communities across Barnsley.
Sponsoring a Shedder is more than funding a workshop. It helps people find purpose, build connections and rediscover the joy of creating.

Meet One of Our Amazing Sponsors
"At Martek, we're proud to support the Age UK Barnsley Sponsor a Shedder because it provides much more than a workshop. It creates a sense of community, companionship and purpose for people who may otherwise feel isolated, while also giving them the opportunity to learn new skills and share experiences with others.
