"Our Clubhouse has no electricity and no running water. Basic services that most of us take for granted.
"Without these vital connections to work lighting, heating, power for tools, and running water for comfort and hygiene, the future of the Men's Shed is at risk," Michael said.
The group are aiming to raise €15,000 to €20,000 to cover the costs of installing electricity and water to their current premises.
