About our shed
About Us
At the “Branxton Greta Men’s Shed” you can share a variety of tools, pursue your interest in pastimes and hobbies, spend time with others with similar interests, learn new skills, or use tools for the first time, or just keep old skills honed and productive. You could also feel viable and vigorous by contributing to the community needs, mentoring youth in the area to help them gain employment and create projects of personal interest utilising your skills and expertise. You can be involved at any level of your choice. The “Branxton Greta Men’s Shed” has been set up to meet these needs and to provide a substitute space for “shedless” people. Besides encouraging new social activities and friendships, the Shed also provides access to other networks including local activities and addressing men’s health issues. The “Branxton Greta Men’s Shed” is a member of the Men’s Sheds Hunter Cluster and the Australian Men’s Shed Association.

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.
