Men's Sheds throughout Australia


Men's Sheds are opening throughout Australia. Almost everywhere Men's Sheds have opened they have met with incredible success and have been of great value to their communities and regions. Participants are emerging stronger, more equipped to meet the pressures of everyday life with a confidence and purpose, knowing the mateship and helping themselves directly and indirectly helps themselves and others through every day living pressures. Some comments from men who have benefited from being involved with men's sheds. . .

"I know what it's like to suffer hardship and health issues so I saw this as my chance to give back and help other men who might have been in similar situation to myself. The concept of men's sheds is needed now more than ever before".

"Having a Men's Shed allows guys to meet other blokes, share a cuppa, have a talk with mates and unburden themselves as they realise they are not the only one facing a challenge".

"Dads, husbands, sons and grandfathers are no longer going to ther backyards but are meeting with other men to chat, share and build whatever suits their fancy..."
