About our shed
About Us
Kurri Kurri Community Men’s Shed officially opened in May 2012 and was funded by the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation.
It currently has more than 50 members who work on various projects throughout the community. The shed is designed to forge community partnerships and provide retired and other local men with the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the community.
Anyone is welcome to join Kurri Kurri Men’s shed, whether they want to come along for a cup of tea, meet other people or help out with a project. There are no age restrictions, and the amount of time given is entirely up to the participant’s schedule and availability.

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.
