Fantastic news announced by the SoS today. Delighted to represent @UKMensSheds at the session. This long-awaited (and long-overdue) strategy for men’s health will make a big difference.
The first ever Men's Health Strategy will be a key part of our 10 Year Health Plan.
It will address the biggest health problems affecting men of all ages, which could include:
⚫ cardiovascular disease
⚫ prostate & testicular cancers
⚫ mental health

Hobson’s Shed Ale is a collaboration brew with a Polish Brewery and a step up from any other low alcohol beer I’ve had. Very refreshing, a good thirst quencher. Plus some of the profit goes to the UKMSA, which is doing outstanding work supporting Sheds all over the U.K.
Thanks to @HobsonsBrewery for your support & joining us at the #ShedAwards2024 in Westminster! Your presence helped make the UK Shed of the Year Awards even more special. 🍻👏 Try a case of the fantastic alcohol-free 'Shed beer' by Hobsons for Sheds! menssheds.org.uk/shed-beer/
Real kudos to @UKMensSheds when the Speaker of the House of Commons says that the Shed we erected on the Parliamentary Estate in March was one of the biggest attractions the Houses of Parliament have ever seen.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle @CommonsSpeaker says 'UKMSA #parliamentshed #shedinparliament was one of the biggest attractions the houses of parliament has ever seen #shedawards2024

Worth 3 minutes of anyone’s time to watch this today. A powerful video, narrated by #DRINKiQ ambassador and boxing legend @TonyBellew. Big shout out to Eddy, Andrew and Andy, three Shedders who agreed to talk on camera to help drive this campaign to help the health of older men.
Older men are more likely to drink more, & more frequently, than other groups, public health data says.
With our partners @DiageoGB, #DRINKiQ & boxing legend @TonyBellew, we want to encourage older men to make being well a mission.

🌟 It’s #TrusteesWeek! 🌟
A huge thank you to our amazing trustees who help keep Men’s Sheds thriving across the UK. Your dedication makes a real difference in our communities. 🙏💙

Fantastic news, @APPGMenBoys - very well received by all of us at @UKMensSheds and those of us who applaud the work of @MBCoalition.
Positive announcement: An initial mailing to MPs has resulted in 11 new MP members for this APPG.
It seems that more MPs are aware of, and concerned about, men&boys issues than 3 years ago.
(To re-form the APPG we need to find two of them to be chair and vice chair.)

Fantastic news, @MBCoalition
Fantastic news. Yet to be confirmed but hearing from our top secret moles that many of the new intake of Labour MPs have signed up to the APPG on issues affecting men and boys. Enormously encouraging & a sign of a real change in the political mood around men's health & wellbeing.

This is excellent news: the partnership between @DiageoGB and @UKMensSheds will do much to support wellbeing, help inform choices and support the right conversations.
We are delighted to announce a brand new partnership with Diageo to support men’s wellbeing and encourage alcohol moderation.

Last week our campaign director @DTBarclay was at #Shedfest2024 with the @UKMensSheds association, where shedders share some key characteristics.
Read David's reflections on the day, and how the Warm Welcome Campaign can support the movement.
