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 1,200 sheds in Australia, where any man can come and find
something useful to do with other blokes. 
 Do you need skills to join a Shed? 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. Here’s a lovely picture of Merilyn from the Historical Society enjoying Dr
Cox’s restored chair.
The Shed is a great place to work on your own project, and members can give some of
their time to fundraising by helping with a commission, making something to sell, or helping
at a Bunnings BBQ.
If you feel you’d like to join but have too much to do at home, we have found great
benefit from getting out of the house for mateship at the shed. And we’ve all picked up tips
for our home projects, and a helping hand too.
What do you do to join? Easy-as! 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.
