About our shed
About Us
The Hume Men’s Shed – Craigieburn is a community-based, non-profit, non-denominational, non-commercial organisation that is accessible to all men through membership of all ages and social backgrounds within the City of Hume.
The shed’s role is to offer the means for members to meet build friendships and camaraderie between members and enable affirmative interaction with other City of Hume residents and communities through participation in meaningful projects, programs and activities.
Our Shed is comprised of members from all backgrounds with ranging life experiences and skills, including migrant males, males with mental illness, males with disabilities including wheelchair bound, males who are employed and un-employed, males who are socially disadvantaged, and males who are very able, proactive and community minded.
Any income generated from various projects and activities is to cover the shed’s running cost and to enable the shed to make environmental improvements and run various programs for our growing membership.

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.
