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.
