Pete's Community Workshed

The shed began it's life back in 2001 with the vision of Bill Griffiths and close mate Pete Cousens (hence the name Pete's Community Workshed) a need for a place for the young un-employed within the local area,to come and learn some basic handyman and woodcraft skills as a way to build confidence and self esteem and hopefully gain some motivation,empowerment and become employable.With the help of local council,business and community groups they saw their vision become a reality.Before long they were welcoming school groups as well as participants in work placement/mentor programs and disability groups.Pete's Community Workshed survives to this day and is still focusing on woodcraft and handyman skills and regularly receives 100 plus visitors per month.Totally run by a dedicated few volunteers and caters to school,disability/aged care groups,work for the dole participants.We are not gender specific and here for the whole community to access and make use of.We also welcome the opportunity to take on a limited amount of custom work to help raise revenue for day to day expenses.
