Money for the Shed

Filed in Recent News by November 15, 2016

THE Murrurundi Men’s Shed will receive $2,500 as one of 93 sheds across Australia which has been successful in obtaining a grant from the federal government.

Barnaby Joyce, deputy prime minister and member for New England said the Men’s Sheds were a great way to support health and wellbeing in the community.

“Men’s Sheds are a popular way for men to connect with their community—whether it’s through a building project, a first aid workshop or a transition to retirement seminar— that’s why I encourage our local blokes to give a shed a go,” Mr Joyce said.

“There are any number of activities for men to take part in, which in turn, provides that important sense of belonging to a community, particularly for older men and men living in rural and remote areas,” he said.

Further rounds of funding will be available for Men’s Sheds and details can be found at www.mensshed.org.
