The mission statement “an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment where knowledge and ideas are respectfully shared” embodies the Women’s Sharing Shed Torquay’s purpose and vision. Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated Board of Management the Women’s Sharing Shed Torquay will take up residence in the shed at the rear of the Community House which was once home to the Torquay Community Men’s Shed until they outgrew it and became incorporated. Hopefully this too will be the case of the Women’s Sharing Shed Torquay. Local resident Kathryn Kidd put out an expression of interest for a women’s shed on Facebook and the result was overwhelming. This was observed by our trusty Chairperson who contacted Kathryn. Together these two passionate women brought the concept to our Board of Management and Co-ordinator and so another great chapter
begins at Spring Creek Community House.

The Shed’s first event was held at Bunnings on International Women’s Day. Future workshops and events will be held at Spring Creek House, Bunnings and other venues around Torquay. They hope to have daytime and evening events to enable flexibility. Potential workshops include painting, tile repair, picture-hanging, fly screen repair, tool maintenance, propagating, flatpack assembly, floating shelves, towel rail installation, tap installation and replacement, financial advice and planning.
