Whithout the continued support and sponsorship of the Uniting Church Bowral our Men's Shed would not be possible. For this we are most grateful.
Uniting Care and Ageing - Northern Sydney Region who is our major sponsor and partner of Bowral Community Men's Shed. Ivan Armstrong, CEO and the executive committee provide suppot and advice both initially and ongoing for which we are extremely grateful. Uniting Care continue to pay our co-ordinator's wages after the initial grant.We have no doubt the Bowral Men's Shed would not exist today without the help of Uniting and Ageing - Northern Sydney Region, and Lane Cove Men's Shed, especially Ruth Vanherk and the Co-ordinator support and assistance has also contributed to our sucess.
The Partnership includes Bowral Uniting Church and Uniting Care-Ageing Northern Sydney Region.
