Operating as a Non-For-Profit Organisation

The Men's Shed is a thriving non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering a sense of community, camaraderie, and purpose among its members. We take great pride in the fact that we are a not-for-profit entity, which means that any donations over the value of $2 are tax-deductible for our generous supporters. These donations play a pivotal role in sustaining our operation and furthering our commitment to community development.

Every dollar donated to the Men's Shed goes a long way in supporting our core initiatives. These funds help us cover essential running costs, ensuring that our space remains accessible, safe, and well-equipped for all our members. But our mission extends far beyond the walls of our workshop. The Men's Shed is deeply committed to giving back to the community that has supported us over the years.

Our community projects, often funded by these donations, allow us to make a positive impact on the lives of others. We take pride in our ability to give back while serving the community.

Moreover, we believe in providing our retired members with a healthy and engaging activity within a safe environment. The Men's Shed isn't just a place to tinker and create; it's a place to socialise, share experiences, and find purpose in one's post-retirement years. Through the support of our generous donors, we can continue to offer this invaluable service to our members.

In addition to monetary donations, we also gladly accept tool donations. These tools are given a second life through our Sunday markets, where they are resold to raise funds for our organisation. Not only do these tools find new homes and uses, but they also contribute to the sustainability of our Men's Shed.

Furthermore, in line with our commitment to supporting the wider community, the Men's Shed also allocates funds to assist other charitable organisations. If a charity wishes to request a donation from us, they can fill in the form below or email us directly. Alternatively, they can drop the request off at our shed during operating hours. We carefully consider all requests and strive to contribute where we can to help make a positive difference beyond our immediate community.

In conclusion, the Men's Shed is a non-profit organisation that relies on the generosity of our donors and the community's support to make a meaningful difference. Through tax-deductible donations, we keep the wheels of our workshop turning, support worthwhile community projects, provide retired members with fulfilling activities, and give tools a second chance at life. Your support is instrumental in helping us achieve these goals and create a better, more connected community for all.
