About our shed
About Us
The three principle ways Peninsula Toys helps our community are:
1. We collect, refurbish and gift for free, toys, games, bicycles etc to charities supporting children and their families
2. Those who refurbish our toys are mostly seniors, but we are open to any ages. This valuable work enhances our members social, mental, emotional, intellectual and physical well being.
3. Every tonne of toys gifted, is one less tonne of land fill, meaning less demand on Kimbriki Tip as well as the general environment
Shed Activities
At our large Ingleside shed our men and women are involved in the refurbishment of toys that range: from board games to soft toys, from bicycles to dolls, from electronic games to lego. In fact any toy a child would play with.
Most days we all stop for tea, coffee, biscuits, and home made cakes, and engage in a lot of banter and chat about whatever seems relevant at the time.
Everyone is welcome to volunteer
Come and try your hand - the only skill requirement is enthusiasm

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.
