Irish Men's Sheds Association

The Irish Men’s Shed Association (IMSA) is a member-based organisation which exists to maintain links and share information with the network of men’s shed in Ireland. The IMSA also act as a representative body to carry the message and ethos of men’s sheds onto the national stage.

As a grassroots organisation, the IMSA believes strongly in the autonomy of each individual shed, as strives for a future in which all men have the opportunity to maintain and improve their well-being on their own terms within their own communities.

The IMSA aims to make it as easy as possible for any like-minded group of men in Ireland to set up, run and maintain a Men’s Shed. To this end, the IMSA provides information, resources and support to member sheds throughout the 32 counties of Ireland; listening and responding to members’ concerns is a cornerstone of the IMSA’s ethos.
