About our shed
About Us
Hornsby-Berowra Men’s Shed Inc (HBMS) exists to promote health and community service amongst retired and unemployed men in the north of Hornsby Shire.
Our shared values are:
Mateship – Achieving more as a team than the sum of our individual efforts, we enjoy each other’s company and go about everything in a spirit of convivial good humour.
Service – We undertake work for the benefit of those around us, with special emphasis on groups and individuals who may not be able to perform or afford the work themselves.
Health – We look after each other and promote a healthy lifestyle for senior men. In particular, we are aware of the toll that depression is wreaking on an ageing Australia. We aim to enrich lives with activities that engender physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health within ourselves, our friends and loved-ones.
Community – We are not an inward focused group, but reach out into our local area for work that may benefit the broader community. We think globally but act locally in order to achieve outcomes benefiting our society

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.
