About our shed
About Us
Simpson Men’s Shed was established in 2009 after a need was identified within the area. Originally operating out of a rented premises, a fit for purpose shed was built in 2014 through grants and community fundraising. Members meet at the shed twice a week and partake in many activities. The shed provides social support, comradery and a welcome space for men in the community to come and join in the activities or just share a cuppa and a chat.

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.
