​Men’s Sheds are community spaces for men to connect, converse and create. Activities are often similar to those of garden sheds, such as woodworking & DIY but with activities for groups of men to enjoy together.

They help reduce loneliness and isolation, but most importantly, they’re fun, providing an opportunity for men in the local area to connect socially, make new friends, share and learn new skills, and gain knowledge.

We have wellbeing at the centre of what we try to do.

Simply drop by, enjoy a chat, tea or coffee, and in our case, some bacon butties!

We're usually here in Grange Park on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month between 10am to 12pm

Following discharge, the Home from Hospital team helps patients with their immediate needs, such as making sure they have food and checking heating and lighting. Additional support has included escorted shopping trips to build confidence, help with understanding medication routines, organising safe and sound alarms, benefits guidance and signposting to support groups.

CRC serves all communities of Bradford District, mainly the Refugee Communities, but also, through the Internet, all community’s victims of conflict around the world.

Our mission is to let people know that we are different but obliged to live and work together, by “creating a peaceful and safe space for the restoration of the wholeness, spiritually, emotionally, and physically”.

The group is led by the same spirit of contributing to the peaceful and multicultural community as a nice place to live in communal harmony.
CRC was co-founded originally in the DRC in 1993 by Kongosi and Ben Mussanzi wa Mussangu, who, at that time, were working at the ‘Centre Médical Evangélique’ (CME) of Nyankunde-Bunia. But since Mussanzi Family fled to the UK as refugees, they found that human beings are the same everywhere. This is why they set up recently the UK version of CRC based in Bradford.
