Why join a Men’s Shed

Why not? Are you a male over 18? You don’t have to be retired to be a member because the Shed is for all men from all backgrounds and skills. We have a healthy sense of humour, but sexism, racism, and bad language are not accepted. Helensburgh Men’s Shed is a safe and friendly place, one of over 1200 sheds in Australia, where any man can come and find something useful to do with other blokes.

All you need is enthusiasm and a will to give it a go, and you can come to the Shed any day we are open and learn from men of all types of backgrounds.

Join us in providing social good to those in need, rescuing our heritage and living active and healthy lives. Above is a lovely picture of Merilyn from the Historical Society enjoying Dr Cox’s restored chair.

What do you do to join? Come along when we are open and have an introductory tour. Complete an application form, pay your annual subscription and do an easy competency test before joining in.

We’d love you to come along, meet the blokes and experience the Shed.
