About our shed
About Us
Ashmore Men’s Shed (AMS) is a community based organisation focused on improving the health and well-being of members, with a particular focus on men’s mental health. AMS provides a welcoming and friendly environment which fosters social inclusion within the wider community and helps reduce social withdrawal. It has also created a haven for members to relax from the challenges of everyday living. The members are able to gather for social interaction and to work on meaningful projects at their own pace and in their own time, in the company of other members.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
