We have been fortunate to have great support from very many individuals and organisations to get The Shed up and running and with their help we aim to be here for many years to come.
Broadstairs Town Shed has the support of Broadstairs Town Council, Thanet District Council, Kent County Council, Age UK, Thanet Clinical Commissioning Group and other local groups. TDC have allowed us to use what was previously a derelict building in the park to create our shed and a £50,000 grant from the National Lottery People's Millions - secured with the support of the whole community - allowed us to open in 2014.

| Laura Sandys, our local MP, pronouncing the Shed open, April 2014. |
"Joining a Shed can sustain a man's health in later life by adding purpose and creating friendships.
"We share good equipment, learn from each other, and chat while pursuing hobbies, working on community projects and making things to support the Shed."
Laura Sandys, MP for Thanet South has kindly given our project her support :
"I am delighted to support this fantastic project, which is truly community led. Thanet has above average numbers of older people and it is vital that we do everything we can to ensure that older members of our community are not isolated. This project will really help."
etc.....?
