  • Meet new people 
  • Connect with your community 
  • Learn new skills 
  • Teach skills to others 
  • Get involved in community projects 
  • Connect with other Women’s Sheds around the country 

Sligo LEADER provides regular ongoing support to new groups and can provide group development training where you learn: 

  • How to form and maintain a new group 
  • How to plan activities  
  • How (and why) to hold meetings 
  • How to apply for funding…and all other aspects involved.
