West Wight Men In Sheds Awarded More Than £2,000

Isle of Wight charity, West Wight Men In Sheds, has received more than £2,000 in funding.

Postcode Neighbourhood Trust - a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery - has awarded the organisation £2,605.

It's hoped the funding boost will enable West Wight Men In Sheds to continue supporting the people of the West Wight.

Ian Wright, Trustee said:

“This grant will enable us to continue our work in the West Wight Area and enable us to start to offer new services in the new year.”

In the last year, West Wight Men In Sheds has spent 4,860 hours supporting members of the community who have felt isolated and alone.

The charity says a total of 645 hours has also been dedicated to local community projects.
