Onduline Announces Partnership with Men's Sheds

Onduline, the light weight roofing systems and waterproofing specialist, is pleased to announce its support of the UK wide charity, the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA).

Since 2013, UKMSA has been providing support and guidance to individuals and groups across the UK in starting and managing Men’s Sheds, raising awareness of the social and health benefits of Men’s Sheds in reducing isolation, loneliness and in empowering local communities. A ‘Shed’ can be anything from a village hall to a garage, there’s even one in a disused mortuary! But the emphasis is on bringing groups together for regular social interaction.

Nisha Kumar, Marketing Manager for Onduline, said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer our support to a charity such as UKMSA. Isolation and mental health are a very real problem throughout the UK and working with them to help fund projects to enable ‘Sheds’ to thrive is a real honour.”

Onduline has pledged to support 10 projects per annum by donating its lightweight roofing material and accessories for ‘Sheds’ to use either on their own meeting places, or to help projects within their community.

David Meli, Partnerships & Community Development Manager for UKMSA, added: “It’s been great to receive this support from Onduline and we’re excited to see what projects our ‘shedders’ will put forward for consideration. Our mission is to enable access to a Men’s Shed for every man that would benefit from one, we won’t stop until we’ve achieved it and support from companies such as Onduline takes us closer to this goal.”
