Sister Sheds meet up group goes from strength to strength since inception

Sister Sheds is a community for women all over Ireland to meet up on a weekly basis in their locality for a chat and a cup of tea, or for a workshop or class in various topics.

The group was set up by cousins Rachel and Sherin Hughes off the back of the pandemic in October 2021 at a time where loneliness was at an all time high, yet there was also sense of community with everyone coming together to get through difficult times.

Rachel said: "Even though we were in lockdown, neighbours actually had time to talk to each other over the garden wall and play bingo together. I was talking to Sherin at the time and we were talking about back in the 1970's and 80's there were ladies clubs which kind of became extinct.
