About our shed
About Us
We assist men in our region, wherever we can, to understand that they are not alone and are not the only one who feels that way. When they attend the shed we help them to integrate within the shed and join in with others to help the local community, in any way we can , this will hopefully make them feel they are part of the community and able to realise, they can enjoy life, again. The main thing we need to do is listen, when they finally start to talk, which does not always happen straight away, this allows us to understand their needs and what brought them to the shed to start with. We can then assist them to choose an area that will give them satisfaction.
Shed Activities
Woodworking, Metalworking, Community Projects, Men's Trips, Men's Health Projects, Monthly talks on various subjects that affect men's health, by local experts and community service program's.

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.
