Men’s Shed: Relocating to expand our capacity to support community

GOAL
$6,600
Field of Interest
- Community and economic development
- Health/wellbeing and medical research
Target Population
- General population
- Seniors (65+)

The Springfield Camira Men's Shed Inc was established in August 2018. We have over 50 members, with new men joining regularly. Our members come from a range of backgrounds (trade, retail, administration, etc) and a wide age range.
The majority of members involve themselves with fixing and constructing various items, while several assist with administration of the shed and others simply enjoy interacting socially.
We provide members with the support, space, tools, equipment and supplies to undertake the activities or conversations they wish to be involved in.
We deliver community-focused projects utilising the skills of its members, the facilities and equipment of the shed and the supplied necessary to complete the project.
Our Vision: To provide a men's shed that gives a strong sense of belonging and satisfaction to its members and value to its surrounding community.
Our Mission: Deliver a service to the community of Greater Springfield and Camira by offering a place for men to interact and share their knowledge and skills with like-minded individuals.
Project Summary
Due to the rapid growth of the group, it is challenging to accommodate all the group’s activities and equipment in our current premises. While continuing to operate from here, we are endeavouring to gain sufficient support to establish and relocate to larger premises. This is a medium-long term undertaking, but necessary to ensure that the Shed continues to provide its valuable support to the community.
A parcel of nearby land has been committed to the Shed – we are now working to accumulate sufficient funds/other support for the ‘infrastructure’ (site works, buildings, connection of services, etc).
Project Outcomes
We are intending to construct a larger shed to allow for a greater number of men who resider in our area. Our current shed is too small for our current membership and restricts our activities. The Town Planner will have completed his engagement when we are able to access the new property to commence development.
