We Build Friendship
Our Men’s Sheds is part of a provincial, national, and international movement that offers men camaraderie and sense of a shared purpose that is often found in the workplace.
Open To All Men
A Men’s Shed is open to all men who want connection: retired men, shift workers, men with leisure time, or anyone else who wants to enjoy company, camaraderie, and constructive pastimes.
Healthy Interaction
Men’s Sheds foster healthy interaction, enabling members to forge connections, share skills, and engage in fulfilling activities together.
Better Mental Health
Participation in Men’s Sheds is associated with improved mental well-being, including reduced feelings of loneliness and enhanced self-esteem, supported by research findings worldwide.
Men's Shed Movement
Groups work together with a shared purpose and camaraderie at Men’s Sheds. By choosing projects and activities that are suited to members of each Shed, participants determine their own interests and activities, which vary greatly between Sheds. Some focus on:
- Woodworking
- Metalworking
- Bicycle repair
- Electronics
- Model buildings
- Car repair and restoration
Sheds usually attract older men, but many have younger members too. Whatever the activity, the essence of a Shed is not a building, but the connections and relationships between its members as they work together on things they want to do.
