THE importance of Men’s Sheds to the wellbeing of men’s mental health in the area is being lauded this week with Men’s Shed Week celebrations being held between September 4 – 10.
From what began as a humble idea in regional Australia, Men’s Sheds are dedicated, welcoming shared places where people (typically older men) can come together – regardless of their background or ability, to chat, share ideas and combine their skills and get creative, mostly with wood.
