The Irish Men's Sheds Association (IMSA) was set up to support the development and sustainability of Men's Sheds.

Men's Sheds are community-based, non-commercial organisations which are open to all men where the primary activity is the provision of a safe, friendly and inclusive environment where the men are able to gather and/or work on meaningful projects at their own pace, in their own time and in the company of other men and where the primary objective is to advance the health and well- being of the participating men.

The Irish Men's Shed Association is a member-based organisation formed to share information freely between Sheds and support communities and organisations wishing to establish a Shed. The IMSA as a national organisation represents the collective issues of Men's Sheds in Ireland.

The Irish Men's Shed Association will work towards a future where all men have the opportunity to improve and maintain their health and well-being by participating in a community Men's Shed.
