The growing importance of the 'Men's Shed' culture here has been acknowledged by Mid and East Antrim Council.
Run by men for men, the community projects often focus on gardening or workshops.
Councillors have now pledged to help set up more Men's Sheds - which started Down Under - across the Borough.
Councillor Paul Sinclair says they're not just for veterans:
Mourners at Amy Doherty’s funeral hear of her ‘magnetic personality’
Man arrested over Amy Doherty murder ‘unfit for police interview’
Violence against women a particularly difficult issue in NI – Naomi Long
Natalie McNally’s partner found guilty of her murder
