Stirling Community Men's Shed
Our Men’s Shed enables members to take part in woodwork projects, socialise with others and raise awareness of men’s health issues in a safe, friendly environment.
Members craft various items from recycled or donated timber, using woodworking machines and hand tools. Funds raised through the sale of these items are invested back into the Shed to ensure that the facility remains a vibrant and valuable space for its members.
Members also have the opportunity to participate in gardening, handcrafts, seminars, outings and fundraising.
Becoming a member
Due to the popularity of this program, the Shed’s membership is now full and the current 2-year waitlist has been temporarily suspended.
However, if you’re interested in being notified when a place becomes available, please contact the Men’s Shed coordinator on (08) 9205 7625.
