Men's Sheds
Our shed has been operating since 2013 and relocated from our previous location to our current location in 2020.
Our Members are mostly retired men who have been looking for another interest since having left the work force.
The key focus of the shed is to provide companionship to males within our community, we do this by providing an environment where they feel comfortable to sit and discuss issues or if they wish to participate in our woodwork shop on either their own project or a shed project.
Activities:
Mateship.
Mentoring
Sharing Skills and Ideas.
Listening.
Helping.
Woodworking.
Community assistance.
