Amongst a variety of existing projects including side shows for Heatons Summerfest 2022, planters for summer flowers and a selection of noticeboard refurbishments we have found time to do a little repair job on the door of Crescent Park Little Free Library https://m.facebook.com/crescentparklittlelibrary, that was damaged in a recent storm. Weatherproof again the library can […]

We have made and installed three crosses in the grounds of St Paul’s Heaton Moor https://www.facebook.com/stpaulsheatonmoor to be used as a focus for Easter celebrations and a stage on the Heatons Hub, Easter trail 2022 https://heatonspost.co.uk/events/easter-trail-2/

Everything is not what it seems. What might look like a multi-story bird box is in fact a Doggy Poop Bag Dispenser.

Hopefully their premises on Middle Hillgate will soon be a festival of spring flowers.

This week we downed tools for a social outing. A group from HMIS visited Robinsons Brewery for a tour. Followed by lunch and a couple of beers at the Arden Arms. A very pleasant day out.

FROM THAT TO THIS – A corner of the garden of St Paul’s Church in Heaton Moor had become something of an eyesore over the years. It had gone from compost heap to rubbish dump. One of the Heatons’ Men in Sheds members suggested we should tidy it up a bit, and after the usual […]

In memory of Tim – Yesterday was the first anniversary of the death of our friend and the founder treasurer of Heatons’ Men in Sheds Tim Anderson. HMIS had thought long and hard about how to provide a memorial to Tim. We considered a bench or a tree, in the end, we decided to dedicate […]
