Yass Valley Men's Shed

General Information on Men’s Sheds

The common theme in all Sheds throughout Australia (there are more than 1,000 now established) is about men feeling useful and contributing to their communities, learning or sharing their skills, making friends, networking and availing themselves of health information programmes and opportunities.

Activities within Sheds are many and various: woodwork, metal work, restoration of old cars, “portable” Sheds taken to Alzheimer facilities or mobile Sheds for remote country areas.

The membership is diverse too. Men from all backgrounds, ethnic and social mixes can enjoy a Men’s Shed, bringing their unique cultural characteristics to enliven the activities
