Men’s Sheds provide a space for men to come together, learn new skills and socialise with their peers. Healthy Ireland in the Department of Health and the HSE provide supports to the National Office for the Irish Men’s Sheds Association (IMSA) which exists to support the growth and sustainability of men’s sheds on the island of Ireland. The Department of Health also supports the Sheds for Life Programme, which focuses on improving the physical and mental health and well-being of the shedders. This includes the provision of resources, health and well-being programmes and men’s health information.

The following table provides details of the funding that has been provided by the Department of Health for both the National Office and the Sheds for Life programme since 2016. Please note that the figures for 2025 represent the full year funding that has been agreed
