The Men’s Shed is a way of promoting a sense of togetherness and camaraderie between men that may have felt isolated and cut off from the community or simply want to socialise more and broaden their network of friends.
Men’s Sheds are springing up all over Australia. They are an updated version of the typical shed in the backyard, that’s long been part of Australian culture. Men from all parts of a community can gather, share a cup of tea, a story – learn or practice a craft such as woodworking, fixing machinery or computing.
