A great sunny afternoon spent with Portstewart Men's Shed, they were showing me the bikes they've been repairing to gove to refugees and local people who need them, the vegetable patch and telling me of the sense of purpose it gives the men who attend...these services are vital – at Claudy, Northern Ireland
