Three Trees Studio

Pictured above is a one-of-a-kind curvaceous garden studio in Hampstead, London, from Rise Design Studio. In particular, it takes in the mature trees of the build site which adds a very definite 'garden' element. It's a multi-functional space with birch plywood interiors and curved glass walls to be used as additional accommodation (with bathroom) and also a games room. Other features include extremely insulated walls, and two roof lights.

Shrewsbury Men's Shed named UK Men's Shed of the Year

Large congratulations to Shrewsbury Men’s Shed for winning the 2024 UK Men's Shed of the Year trophy (Shedworking is particularly pleased about this since it's the birthplace of it's Head of Content). Here's what their shortlisting says about them:

Shrewsbury Men’s Shed has achieved a huge amount in their three years. The Shed are a real community space, hosting other charities and organisations regularly, offering their space and friendship to people with dementia, men with cancer, woodturners and a horticulture group. The Shed have undertaken some huge projects, like restoring Percy Thrower’s greenhouse and even building and running a ferry service, providing a connection to town that previously didn’t exist. The Shed are currently supporting the Afghan families located at a nearby army camp by welcoming them to their Shed for cooking and craft, and are even supporting the development of two Sheds for Afghan men and women at the army camp. The Shed aim for all they do to benefit their Shedders, their community, and their environment.

Also a big well done to the following:

• Pontypridd Mens Shed for winning the Shed Partnership of the Year 2024 Award
• Rhyl Men’s Shed for winning the Community Project of the Year award 
• Caerau Men’s Shed for winning the Health and Wellbeing of the Year Award 
• Mark Mantle, of Ludlow Men’s Shed for winning the Volunteer of the Year Award
