REDDITCH Rotary Club has donated £400 to Inkberrow Men’s Shed to help establish an electronics training and repair station for its members.
The new addition will allow members to learn practical electronics skills from experienced practitioners within the Shed and provide a space where electrical items from the local community can be repaired and serviced, rather than thrown away.
A spokesperson for Inkberrow Men’s Shed said: “The new electronics station will allow members to learn from one another, develop valuable skills, and help the local community by repairing items that might otherwise be discarded.”
Inkberrow Men’s Shed provides a welcoming space where people can meet, share skills and work together on practical projects that benefit both members and the wider community.
They started by renovating the village phone box, then brightened up the bus shelter with a mural by local artist John Harris.
Other projects have included bird boxes for the Millenium Green and renovation of the local map case which is now at the entrance to the village hall.
People looking to join do not have to commit to repair work, they can just join the group for coffee or talk about a project they would like to undertake.
The group meets regularly between 10am and 2pm on Wednesdays at the back of the Bowls Pavilion on the playing field behind the village hall in Sands Lane.
Although the group is called Men’s Shed, it is open to all genders.
