About our shed
About Us
Here at Willo's Men's Shed, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. we have been determined to make an impact in the lives of men from the town of Gawler and surrounding areas by creating an environment in a safe and relaxed way.
The core of our efforts is to bring together men for fresh ideas and a passion to the range of activities we’re involved in by developing new skills and passing on new skills. this is through woodworking, metalwork, music, events (Gawler show, Xmas Dinner, B.B.Q.'s and helping the community), health information sessions(eg:prostate cancer first aid, mental health, mentoring each other.)
Willo's Men's Shed is a community-based organisation with the following objectives:
To promote men's health and well being.

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.
