Men's Shed/Great Mates Project

The aim of the Men's Shed program is to provide a venue for showcasing the wide range of skills held by older males living in the Bay & Basin area.

The Men's Shed aims to improve independence and quality of life by providing training opportunities for unemployed or retired local males. The project also aims to integrate our older community members with younger males within the area.

Activities include markets, minor repairs for community members, construction projects and networking opportunities.

Broader to this are the aims of the 'Great Mates' program, which is to stregthen each member's family and community relationships and increase social connectedness for males.

Activities include monthly guest speakers, partnership with 'Men for Life', mentoring and social support activities.
