About our shed
About Us
Within its walls and under its roof you will find a community which indeed aims to provide a haven and a refuge for those who are in need or in search of company.
Our shed provides a space for physical fitness groups, an area to facilitate mental and general health forums, provides community group meeting facilities, as well as a meeting place for all to have a cuppa and chat.
As life presents its inevitable challenges “our shed” aims to support those who have been impacted by suicide or mental health issues, as well as to assist those who are lonely and feeling disconnected.
Our community provides ongoing support for those who have lost loved ones, particularly during the years immediately after such a traumatic incident.

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.
