Carlisle’s Community Shed reopens In October 2025, Carlisle’s Community Shed was forced to close for financial reasons. The team, including mission partner Garry Ion, who supports and connects with people on the margins through practical work at the Shed, moved the contents of the project into a storage unit. Following an outcry in the local community and a renewed fundraising effort, the Shed has reopened its doors. Once again, people living with loneliness and mental health challenges can connect and find invaluable support. Others are growing in confidence as they transition from prison back into society. We praise God that Garry and the team have been able to move into a new location that exceeded their expectations(!) and re-opened at the end of February 2026. Pray for those who come to the Shed to find belonging and a safe space to share about their struggles and grow in their knowledge of God.
