The Men's Shed is a fully-equipped workshop where skilled and unskilled men can share time with each other, swap yarns and work together on community projects.

All are welcome! Please download and complete the  Men's Shed Brochure and Membership Form - 1,218 KB.

Use of tools and basic materials is free. Never used tools? No problem! Skilled members can show you how to use them.

In the Shed members make and repair small items of furniture, toys, craft items, and bring their own personal projects. Many items are donated to community outreaches and some items are sold to buy materials and new tools for the shed. Metalwork equipment is available.

Willoughby's Community Men's Shed has been established to provide a substitute space for 'shedless blokes'. Besides encouraging new social activities and friendships the Men's Shed also provides access to other networks for men including local activities and men's health information.

The Men's Shed Story

The shed holds an important place in Australian culture as a reservoir of memories and experiences and as place to share skills and socialise.

Good health is based on factors including self-esteem, feeling productive and valuable to society, having social relationships, and being active.

Many retired people have had to downsize their living arrangements, often resulting in the man's personal space (usually the garden shed or workshop) being lost.

In the Community Shed men can come and share a fantastic variety of tools, keep pursuing their interests, learn new skills or keep old skills honed and active. Men can feel viable and vigorous by contributing to community needs and create projects of personal interest and expertise.
