Midsomer Norton Men’s Shed received a very generous donation from the Co-op Community Fund recently. The presentation was made in front of the Co-op Marksbury Store by Manager Ben and Community Trust Pioneer, Tina (pictured below).

Chairman of the Shed, Steve Swift said on receiving the cheque: “We really appreciate the financial support from the Co-op and its customer members who have so kindly provided the funds.

“Thanks to this donation, we were able to purchase an immediate replacement pillar drill for our workshop, as the old one had just expired. The remainder of the money will enable us to have a little more financial security in the medium term.”

Midsomer Norton Men’s Shed is part of Midsomer Norton Community Trust and is open to anyone over eighteen years who wants to socialise and learn new practical skills. The Shed is open on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9.30 am behind the big barn at Farrington’s Farm Shop.
