MENS SHEDS / COMMUNITY SHED PROGRAMS IN SA
Men’s sheds and community shed programs are typically located in shed or workshop spaces in the community. They provide opportunities for regular hands-on activity by groups deliberately and mainly comprising men. Community sheds can assist in combating depression and loneliness, particularly in older men.
If you would like to know more check out the BBC documentary on the Australian Men’s Shed Movement www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2010/03/100317_shed_men.shtml
If you are interested in staring up a shed the Australian Men’s Shed Association can help.
