Men’s Shed

Whether you are an expert timber craftsman or a complete novice, you will be welcomed into our Men's Shed with open arms.

The Men's Shed

Australian culture doesn’t encourage men to talk about feelings and emotions, or to take an interest in their own health and well-being.

Membership to the Men’s Shed can give men a safe and busy environment to learn new skills in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mate-ship, and, importantly, there is no pressure. Friendship, loyalty and camaraderie are highly valued in our Men’s Sheds, where 'sheddies' are offered a place to belong and contribute.Men can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all they’re looking for.

The Ladies Shed

The Ladies Shed, much like the Men's Shed, is a supervised woodworking program, mainly targeted towards older ladies who are passionate about working with their hands.
