Men’s Sheds
Community Men’s Sheds are about men feeling useful and contributing again to their communities. They provide new avenues among males for learning or sharing skills, making friends, networking and availing themselves of health information programs and opportunities.
Communities are keen to provide activity, identity and meaning for vast numbers of older, unemployed, job-redundant, ‘downsized’, isolated, depressed and happily retired, active, creative, enthusiastic men. Men’s Sheds are fast being recognised as vital, viable places to fulfil these needs and provide relaxed, happy creative spaces for men to enjoy.

Men's Sheds are under the auspices of a variety of organisations. However, each shed develops its own ethos and mission, shaped by the men who attend locally.
