About the Men's Shed Program

The Men's Shed Program supports men's health and wellbeing by creating opportunities for connection, friendship, learning and peer support.

Participants come together to share skills, knowledge and life experiences while working on a variety of projects including:

• Woodworking and carpentry
• Metalwork and fabrication
• Restoration projects
• Creative and artistic pursuits
• Up-cycling and repurposing materials

Through our Up-Cycle Shop, many of the items created and restored within the Shed are made available to the wider community, helping reduce waste while supporting sustainability initiatives.
