Also Ashington Elders and Veterans use the old workshop on Wednesday and Thursday mornings between 10 and 12 to make items to sell for the NHS
What is Earth Balance Shed?
Our friendly Shed is a club and workshop for all interested people from Bedlington and surrounding area who like to remain active and socialize with others. We have a well-equipped workshop where people can make things in wood or metal or plastic, follow a hobby or interest, share skills, or just sit, relax, chat, and enjoy a cuppa in good company.
Some people work on their own projects, some like to make things in a group. We often do community tasks too
The Shed is a haven where people can make new friends and share a joke, an idea, or an experience.
Helping the Community
We are often asked to do jobs for local people. Surprisingly, these are the most popular and satisfying projects. For example we made a path for the Toby Henderson School for Autistic children so during covid they could have a separate exit. Also we made a free library and a raised bed for the new Cambois Community Centre.

August 2022 News: Refurbishment completed!
It has taken a year and a half, but the structural work for the new mezzanine, the insulation, electrics, a toilet and tiny kitchen are all completed. Soon we’ll be asking the building inspector for his final inspection.
We are rather proud of our stairs and new mezzanine.
