'Men’s Sheds are a cornerstone of community life' - €13k for Leitrim groups

Several Men's Shed groups across County Leitrim are set to benefit from a recent funding announcement totalling €13,000. The allocation will be distributed among six organisations working in communities throughout the county.

Groups based in Aughavas, Ballinamore and Killenummery will each receive €3,000, while the Carrick-on-Shannon Men's Shed has been awarded €1,911. The North Leitrim Men's Group will get €1,593, and the Kinlough group will receive €420.

Men's Sheds provide important community spaces where men can gather, socialise and engage in practical activities. The funding demonstrates continued recognition of the role these groups play in supporting male wellbeing and fostering connections within their localities.

The grants will help the various sheds continue their work across rural and urban areas of Leitrim, from the north of the county around Kinlough to the midlands region near Carrick-on-Shannon.
