Shed Activities

Men's interests and needs drive our Shed.

Individual and group activities make use of the Shed facilities and equipment.

A newly constructed workshop funded by Rotary Club of Redcliffe City (& supplemented by a Commonwealth Grant) provides ample space and equipment for skill development, woodworking and metal working projects.

Another building on-site leased from Moreton Bay Regional Council provides a Recreational Area containing a fully equipped kitchen, bar, library, computer terminals, games room and office.

In addition to the workshop activities include:

*  Chatting over Smoko (often includes pies, pasties and scones)

*  Snooker

*  Playing Cards

*  Reading in the library

*  Internet Access

*  Cooking classes (sometimes)

*  Men's Health information

*  Computer controlled laser cutting

Positive impacts

Camaraderie

"I've found a great group of mates"

Mateship is an important pillar of every Men’s Shed – first and foremost the shed is a place for men to knock about with a group of like-minded mates.

Community

“I give back to the community”

Men’s Sheds are vital community investments delivering programmes and activities that foster community spirit and contribute to building a more inclusive Australia.

Health & Wellbeing

“My health and wellbeing is better because I'm a Shedder”

Many shedders experience improved mental health outcomes. Men (and women) involved at their local Shed report increased self-esteem through participation and learning new skills; de-stigmatisation of experiencing mental health and de-stigmatisation of prevalent social issues related to mental health.

Watch — More than just a shed

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.
