| The shed holds an important place in the Australian culture. It can be a reservoir of memories, experiences, and a place to share skills and to socialise.
We've all read reports which tell us that good health is based on many factors including self-esteem, feeling productive, 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 a garden shed or workshop, being lost. So the idea of a community shed was born. Here men could come and share a fantastic variety of tools, still pursue their interest in pastimes and hobbies, spend time with other blokes of similar interest, learn new skills or keep old skills honed and productive. The Bowral Community Men's Shed has been set up to meet these needs and 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. |
