Your local Men’s Shed offers somewhere to go, something to do, and mates that make it all worthwhile, which makes the 30th anniversary of the birth of Men’s Sheds significant for thousands of men and their communities.
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA), Helensburgh Men’s Shed, and Sheds everywhere are celebrating three decades of connection, cooperation, and camaraderie.
Since the first shed for men, The Shed at Goolwa Heritage Club, opened in South Australia in February 1993, the Shed movement has grown to encompass more than 2500 Sheds in 12 countries.
Today, AMSA reckons there are more Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds in Australia than the number of McDonald’s restaurants nationwide! Sheds help communities: connecting men, improving health and wellbeing outcomes, and positively contributing to almost 1300 thriving communities around Australia.
Recognised as one answer to national health issues emanating from social isolation, Sheds have evolved into local hubs, fostering community spirit from city suburbs to regional and rural towns through the years.
We at the Burgh Men’s Shed look forward to celebrating 30 Years of Sheds with Open Days, men’s health events, joining with charity and sports groups. Look out for us at local events.
