AGE UK Coventry & Warwickshire’s Rugby Community Shed has received a £300 donation from housebuilder David Wilson Homes.
The community space supports local people through practical activities, social connection and shared learning. The donation will help to fund the ongoing running costs of the Shed, which provides a welcoming and inclusive space where members can meet regularly, work on hands-on projects and enjoy social interaction in a relaxed environment.
Rugby Community Shed offers opportunities for woodworking, DIY projects and skill-sharing, helping members to reduce social isolation, build confidence and improve their overall wellbeing.
The group plays an important role in bringing people together and supporting positive mental health through companionship and activity.
Located near the housebuilder’s Ashlawn Gardens development in Rugby, the Shed welcomes people of all ages, offering a supportive community space where friendships can grow and woodworking skills can be shared.
Chris Gibson, Volunteer Group Leader at Rugby Community Shed, said: “Everyone who visits the shed finds a welcoming and supportive space. Even if they have little woodworking experience, we can help them out.
“This generous donation will come in use to keep our group going, so we’d like to share our thanks to David Wilson Homes.”
