Cannock Chase Shed, a shed project based at the Museum of Cannock Chase on Valley Road, Hednesford, said it needs a bigger hub after membership spiked following the pandemic.

The group started out as five friends but soon grew to over 30 members who meet each week to build, repair and restore items for charity groups and community organisations.

Peter Ross, treasurer for Cannock Chase Shed, said: "It's a good problem to have I suppose, but the premises we have currently are too small.

"The building was good when we first set up about five years ago when we had around five people, but we have around 30 now and we are desperately looking for a bigger space."
