Being a part of a Men’s Shed provides opportunities to participate actively in a community with other men from diverse backgrounds and make new friends. Being involved in a social way at a Men’s Shed has been shown to increase quality of life.

Men’s Sheds provide a common shared space for social interaction. The sheds also provide male club members with a meditative space allowing for both creative expression and purposeful activity.

The sheds promote the health and wellbeing of the male members within the club by giving them the chance to engage in meaningful activities that can help maintain strength, coordination, thinking skills, emotional wellbeing and the ability to be as independent as possible.
