What's the Men's Shed all about?

From the outside, it looks like a quiet, sedate shed sitting in the precincts of the Samford Showgrounds. Inside there is a hive of activity – woodwork, steel craft, art work and even photography. But the most important activity is to offer a place where all men are welcome to a safe environment where they'll find acceptance, friendship and fellowship with other blokes.

Why get involved?

“Men's Sheds have long been recognised for their demonstrated success in contributing to improvements in male health and wellness by reducing social isolation and increasing social engagement and connectedness… Sheds provide men with a safe, male-friendly environment for men to come together and have a meaningful purpose, to share experiences and sometimes share their problems.”— excerpt, QMSA Enquiry into social isolation and loneliness in Qld 2020
