Men's Sheds
East Malvern Men's Shed is about the good health of it's members. Its members try to maintain active bodies and minds by being productive, contributing to the community and connecting with friends. We try to provide a safe and busy environment where we can find many of these things in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mateship. But there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all they’re looking for.
We come from all walks of life – the bond that unites us is that we are men with time on our hands and we are doing something meaningful to do with that time.
Activities:
Woodworking, Gardening, Bike riding, Socialising
