About our shed
About Us
Huonville Men’s Shed's mission is to promote and advance the health and well-being of members by providing a safe and friendly environment where they can meet and connect with others in the local community, through joining in practical activities, meetings and classes. The benefit for the members will be improved self-esteem, a chance to learn new skills and practice old ones, overcome isolation, improved social interaction and enjoy an active healthy lifestyle. Anyone in the local community aged over 16 – both male and female – may join the HMS and participate in its activities.

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.
