SHEDS WA

Welcome to our first edition of our new magazine for sheds in WA We have created the magazine in response to requests from sheds, stakeholders and people interested in the men’s shed and community shed movement.

I thought it would be helpful to write a brief note on what you can expect to find in the magazine.

Sheds are great at what they do, supporting their members, helping their communities, and promoting wellbeing and men’s health. When the team visit the 180+ men’s sheds and community sheds up and down the state we have come to realise that they are filled with hidden gold. There are many unique projects that aren’t shared beyond the shed walls. We have many fascinating stories about the people involved, how they are benefited by the shed and how they are helping their communities through the shed. The aim of this magazine is to tell some of these stories and to share that gold. There will be stories on individuals, stories on sheds, and articles that will be of interest to people in and around the shed movement. We will also have an opportunity to share information on wellbeing and health and to connect people that are interested in the movement with service deliverers and leaders in the health sector. I do hope that you enjoy reading the magazine. Please feel free to get in touch with the team and of course send us your stories.

Happy reading

James Wild CEO, Men’s Sheds of WA
