About our shed
About Us
Members of Men’s Sheds come from all walks of life – the bond that unites them is that they are men with time on their hands and would like something meaningful to do with that time.
Here at the Stafford Men’s Shed, we provide a fully equipped facility where our members are able to share ideas and knowledge, and work on meaningful projects at their own pace, in their own time, in a safe, supportive and friendly environment.
Besides being of service to our community, one of our major objectives is to advance the well-being and health of our male members.
Unlike women, most men are reluctant to talk about their feelings or emotions and many do not take an interest in their own health and well-being, which means that they usually don’t ask for help.
Good health is based on many factors including feeling good about yourself, being productive, contributing to your community, connecting with friends and maintaining an active body and mind. Becoming a member of a Men’s Shed provides a safe and busy environment where men can find many of these things in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mateship. And, importantly, there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that’s all they’re looking for.

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.
