The Men’s shed is a project which works in partnership with Free the Way and Durham County Council. It is supported financially through Durham County Council’s Cree project which promotes positive activities for Men. Men join us here at Breathing Space where they help out with conservation activities in Witton Dene. They are greeted with refreshments before joining in the conservation activities which Denis Daggett arranges for the group. He is part of Friends of Witton Dene and Denis (the chairman) is a regular volunteer liaising with Breathing Space  to ensure that the work done in the Dene is what is required. Local wardens from Durham County Council Countryside team are also involved in supporting the programme with equipment & materials. The men also have the opportunity to have a little quiet time in the church for prayer, rest and reflection. A short walk is also available as part of the programme, weather permitting.
