Men's Shed

This innovative program operates from Northside Community Service’s Head Office site in Dickson and provides men with the opportunity to come together and spend time in an atmosphere of mateship.

The need...
Many retired men have had to downsize their living arrangements, often resulting in their personal space, usually the garden shed or work-shop, being lost. As a consequence, some may be looking to spend time in a constructive environment or simply share time with other men of similar interests.

So, the idea of a Men’s Shed was born to provide a space for ‘shed-less blokes’. Men come to the Shed to share a variety of tools and spend time learning new skills, honing old skills and being productive - or simply to share a cuppa and have a chat. Typical activities include:
  • Member’s personal projects;
  • Repairing old toys;
  • Repairing items of furniture
  • One-off projects for local community needs;
  • Designing and making craft items for sale, raffle and donation;
  • Developing a flower and vegetable garden; and,
  • Social outings and BBQ’s
