Our History

The Havant Men's Shed all came together when four of us discovered that Havant Borough Council and Mind were already discussing the benefits of men's sheds and realised that the perfect problem building was in HBC's hands.

We called a public meeting in June 2014 to establish the Association and took a licence on the building in September.
