About our shed
About Us
Our primary objective is to advance the health and wellbeing of male members and to provide a safe, friendly environment where men feel they belong.
MCMS was started in 2010 and has established it self in the Maitland Community, doing projects for Schools, Mainstream and Specialised.
Last year, MCMS made wooden model Toranas for the Toranafest in Maitland as well as run a BBQ & raffle there.
Every Xmas, MCMS is asked to build the East Maitland Lions' Cubby House, a major fundraiser for the Westpac Helicopter.

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.
