A lovely, welcoming group. Don't give it a second thought, pop along and join this wonderful community workshop. 😁

A quick reminder of our weekly sessions and where to find our workshop.

We are based at the YMCA on Mythop Road in Lytham. Turn right at the end of the drive you will see our containers alongside the large green workshop.

The Men Shed groups are on a Tuesday and Thursday morning from 10.00
Our mixed Community Workshop runs on a Tuesday afternoon from 12.30
Our Ladies School of Woodworking is on a Thursday afternoon from 1.00, though this is fully subscribed.
(We are definitely not working 9-5 and it's definitely not driving us crazy. ♥️)

Our annual membership fee is just £20 per year and then it is just £2 per session you attend.

If you are thinking about joining just pop down to see us at the workshop for a chat and a look around, aternatively drop us a message through this page.

We are holding a Charity Car Wash on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August between 11.00am and 3.00pm. We will have a special helper on this occasion, Amelia. Amelia is the daughter of one of our lovely colleagues Carl. The local charity N-Vision has been a support to her and her family, Amelia asked if we could raise money for this wonderful charity and of course we would love to.
Please come along and support this wonderful charity. 💙

️How things have changed over the years.
From visual tributes, livestreamed services, digital memorials to Unattended/ Direct Cremations. We have changed and modernised with time.
When making arrangements for loved ones, we personalise the service to be as modern, traditional or a combination of both. Our wonderful colleagues take pride in everything they do, giving the greatest care and respect with every family we have the honour of supporting. 💙
