gov.ie - Our Rural Future: Minister Humphreys launches new initiative to support Women’s Sheds (www.gov.ie)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"This week I had the privilege of meeting a delegation of women from all across the Country who are involved in running Women and Sister Sheds in their local communities. Many people will be familiar with the Men's Sheds who have grown from a small organisation a number of years ago to a point now where there are over 400 Men's Sheds nationwide and the organisation has a national representative body. The Women's Shed movement is a relatively new phenomenon in comparison. Many of the groups I spoke to this week have only been existence for a year or less. I passionately want to support our Women's Sheds to grow however I'm conscious that without a representative body, it is more difficult for Women's Sheds to avail of State support. And so, for the first time, I'm putting aside a special fund of €100,000 specifically for our Women's Sheds. My message today is clear - if you are part of a Women's Shed, please get in touch with my department because I want to support the fantastic work that you do."
