The Repair Shed, a charity programme which brings local, older men together to combat social isolation, is to be Tring Brewery’s Charity of Choice for 2025.
Tring Brewery will produce monthly special beers to raise awareness for The Repair Shed, and plans to host unique fundraising events throughout the year.
Using the Repair Shed’s venues, in Hemel Hempstead, Northchurch, Kings Langley, and Redbourn, ‘Shedders’ can work on personal projects alongside community builds and refurbishments. Shedders are also given time to work on income generation projects on behalf of the charity, although additional fundraising opportunities are vital for the longevity of the sheds.
“The team at Tring Brewery are very much looking forward to working with The Repair Shed,” said communication manager, Jared Ward. “The Shedders are a community of hard-working and friendly local men, many with a taste for quality ale.

“As a proud local brewer, we recognise value in social community settings, whether that be the warmth of a quaint village pub or the well-worn workbench of a men’s shed. I’m sure we can help raise funds and awareness for such a genuine initiative!”
Tony Mackinder, of Thr Repair Shed, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Jared and the brewery team to promote and
support The Repair Shed, especially as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of this impactful project.”
