Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council express support for Mortimer Men's Shed project

A Mortimer man is hoping to set up a community group for retired and working men to socialise, learn craft and DIY skills and teach what they know to others.

Mike Gomm, a recently retired teacher who has lived in the village since 2005, asked for support from Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council at a meeting on Thursday, April 14.

Mr Gomm wants to set up a Men’s Shed, a local group that would be part of the national charitable association that aims to reduce loneliness and isolation among men.
