Men's Sheds
When men retire, or go through some other major upheaval in their lives, they often feel alone. They need someone to be with, to talk to. Someone who understands what they are thinking and feeling. That person may be another man. Without mates, life for a man can quickly be-come mundane at least, purposeless at worst. Where Are We? The Croydon Mens Shed operates in Building CN5 in the Swinburne University of Technology campus, 12-50 Norton Road, Croydon, Victoria, Australia. It provides a meeting place for men who live in and around the Croydon area.
