Minister for Indigenous Health Warren Snowdon recently announced that 51 more Men’s Sheds in communities across Australia will receive funding to upgrade their facilities or buy new equipment and tools.
“Men’s Sheds are more than just a place for blokes to do some woodworking and have a cuppa. They offer a welcoming environment where men can find support when they need it,” Mr Snowdon said.
Mr. Snowdon explained that the 51 Men’s Sheds will share in $125,000 worth of funding to assist with the cost of upgrading facilities, purchasing tools and work equipment and improving disability access, Mr. Snowdon added that Since 2010, the Australian Government has awarded grants to 211 Men’s Sheds across the nation in recognition of the important work that Men’s Sheds do in their communities.
