Men Sheds

Men Sheds
As many people know, it has never been a particularly masculine trait to talk about their worries or concerns; but that doesn't mean they don't have them. So that's why the not-for-profit, uniquely Australian organisation, Mensheds has been formed and is now spreading across the country.

Its main aim is to develop and share individual skills amongst its members and holds important values by creating life long companionships. But as well as benefiting individuals, it benefits communities creating a sense of togetherness and gives the opportunity to socialise. By enlightening the self worth of its members, this encourages stimulation in economic activities within the community.

In bringing people together, it draws support from the community to attack problems together and to lessen feelings of isolation or depression. The great aspect of this is men can do some of the things they enjoy with participants sharing their skills, craftsmanship and knowledge on trades and computer literacy. It provides a strong national voice on men's issues, which can sometimes be unrecognised.
