Men's Shed Club in Ipswich for cancer survivors

The Ipswich Community Shed for Men in Ipswich who are cancer survivors.

The Ipswich Community Shed is at the Brickmakers Wood, close to the University of Suffolk. The nature reserve is part of the Eden-Rose group of woodland sites that supports the cancer network along with providing other community support.

The Eden-Rose Coppice Trust is run by Dr Rob Brooks and manages three woodland sites and a vineyard across Suffolk, which are used by the wider community, including the 3.5 acre Brickmakers Wood in the heart of Ipswich.

Since 2007 Eden-Rose has been managing these sites and providing safe and easy access to urban woodland environments for people living with cancer as well as offering community support for people suffering from stress, loneliness and coping with life-limiting illness.

Brickmakers Wood is building a community hub for men, inspiring positive action for a greener and healthier future by championing environmental action in Ipswich.

With woodworking and metal crafting areas completed all we welcom a group of men who want to start actively using their skills be it using a saw, coming up with ideas or knocking a nail in.
