Women’s Shed forms in Nenagh

A Women's Shed has just been set up in Nenagh. Mná agus Cairde an t-Aonaigh (Women and Friends of Nenagh) was established in February and has registered with the Public Participation Network (PPN).

It was formed after a group of women got together at the end of last year with the view of setting up a Women's Shed. They now have 22 members and are continuing to grow. A committee is in place with Chairperson Michelle White, Vice Chairperson Yvonne McMahon, Treasurers Valerie Darcy and Carmel Corcoran, Secretary Tandy Jarrett and Committee Assistants Una Hennessy and Peggy Dillon. Based at Friar's Court (the old Nenagh Jobs Club), the group meets on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9.30pm.

They have several activities up and running, from Zumba to Tai Chi, crochet and even a fuel poverty workshop.

The mantra of Mná agus Cairde is inclusivity and the provision of a safe environment for women of all ages. Find them on Facebook to learn more information.
