About our shed
About Us
The Mossman Men’s Shed welcomes men, of all ages, and of all abilities.
Our vision is for men in our community to :
-
remain socially active, and enjoy the company of like-minded men
-
share and develop skills, particularly in manual labour such as woodwork, metalwork, maintenance skills and restoration
-
provide a safe, friendly and nurturing environment in which to do so
-
experience satisfaction from the completion of community projects
-
mentor youth from our community
-
participate in fundraising activities
-
ensure and observe safe work practices
We encourage values of compassion, empathy, positive support and encouragement regardless of ability.
The benefits of the Men’s Shed project include:
-
mateship and encouragement
-
hands-on activities
-
sharing of experiences
-
learning and development of new skills
The Mossman Men’s Shed attracts a diverse range of men of all abilities and ages, offering a similarly diverse range of projects.

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.
