Men’s Sheds have been identified as one way to promote the health and well-being and reduce health and social inequalities for men who might otherwise avoid traditional health services. Historically hospices have struggled to reach men who have a life limiting illness, or who care or cared for ill partners and maybe find themselves alone for the first time in their lives. The aim of the study was to identify an established Men’s Shed group and spend time with them to learn about what makes the group successful, then use this knowledge to encourage the development of further Men’s Shed groups across the hospice sector.
