Stop 2 - Salvos Men's Shed

The Salvos Men's shed was established 4 years ago as a result a collaborative venture between the Salvation Army who had a shed and a group of local shedders who lost the use of a nearby men's shed. While the shed is considered as a program of the Salvation Army, it is relatively autonomous with its own management team (Leader and 6 supervisors). The shed undertakes repair of donated goods for resale which would normally go to landfill as well as building new furniture for Salvo programs. In addition, shedders do their own projects as well as projects for both the public and for local kindy / child care groups. The Salvos Men's Shed operates from 9am to 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays with consideration being given to expand to accommodate other groups such as women, youth and rehab patients.

The Shed visit will include a Shed tour and lunch.
