Men's Sheds
Crows Nest District Men’s Shed is a not-for-profit, non-commercial community organisation providing a safe and friendly meeting place for men to work on projects in the company of other men. Established in early 2018, our permanent home is at the Crows Nest Showgrounds, very generously provided by the Crows Nest AH&I Society, although construction of a new shed will be starting soon near the Community Nursery. This has become the setting for members to meet, socialise and undertake meaningful projects, at their own pace and in their own time with guided supervision by experienced members if needed.
We are incorporated, have Charity status and also Deductible gift recipient endorsement. Our Shed is affiliated with both the Queensland Men’s Shed Association and Australian Men's Shed Association.
A major objective of the Men’s Shed is to advance the health, well being and social inclusion of all members through interest-based activities. We do this by welcoming men to meet and work on projects that are first and foremost personally satisfying and in many cases making an important contribution to the wider community.
Activities include woodwork, wood turning, toy making, metal work, small engine repairs, gardening, computing, leather work, library and book group, health and welfare group, music and instrument playing and upholstery.
