The Bowral Mens's Shed

Take a look

The shed holds an important place in Australian culture. It can be a pool of memories, experience and a place to share skills and socialize. We've all read reports that tell us good health is based on many factors including self-esteem, feeling productive and valuable to society, having social relations and being active.
Many retired people have had to downsize their living arrangements, often resulting in the man's personal space, usually a garden shed or workshop being lost.
So the idea of a community shed was born. Here men could come and share a fantastic variety of tools, still pursue their interest in pastimes and hobbies, spend time with others of similar interest, learn new skills or use tools for the first time - or keep old skills honed and productive. Here men could also feel viable and vigorous by contributing to community needs - and create projects of personal interest and expertise.
The Bowral Men's Shed has been set up to meet these needs and to provide a substitute space for "shed-less" men. Besides encouraging new social activities and friendships, the Men's Shed also provides access to other networks for men including local activities and men's health information.
