Men’s Shed

Belcoo Men’s Shed operates in the Lakeland Community Care Healthy Living Centre, 1 Lattone Road, Belcoo. The Belcoo Men’s Shed was set up in 2017 for like-minded group of men to run and maintain a men’s shed. The Belcoo Men’s Shed has a committee who give their time and skills which make the Men’s Shed a success. It is that very success that has seen the numbers increase over the years. The committee would be asked to serve for three years and are provided with the support and direction of the Project Development Officer employed by Lakeland Community Care HLC and given help with full training and induction.

Belcoo Men’s Shed is a community-based health promotion programme aimed at supporting the physical, mental and social wellbeing of men in the Belcoo and West Fermanagh Area. The building was funded with a Rural Development grant and Housing Executive grant.

Phase one (March 2017) of the Lakeland Community Care Healthy Living Centre has seen the provision of a recreation area for the men to meet and socialise, to play snooker, cards, read and paint the items which have been made in the work shop.

Phase 2 (April 2019) seen the additional new work shop fully equipped where the men can cut wood and make wood products. Belcoo Men’s Shed is a member of the Irish Men’s Shed Association (IMSA). The IMSA provides support, resources and information to shed members and volunteers.
