Maldon Shedders John Youell and Martin Vale are pictured enjoying tea and biscuits donated by the staff of Taylor Wimpey East London to the Essex Shed Network.
The group also received a cheque for £6,038 from funds raised by the company’s local charity golf day auction.
The Essex Shed Network was nominated for the funds by Steve Ellis, whose uncle, Bob attends a Men’s Shed on the Isle of Man.
The money will help Essex Shed Network to provide support to existing Sheds and to grow new Sheds across the county.
There are now close to 25 Men’s Sheds projects across Essex, providing men who might otherwise be lonely or socially isolated with company, purpose and a boost to their mental health.
