Building community with funding for men’s sheds

State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced Mooroopna Men’s Shed would receive funding as part of the 2024-25 Men’s Shed Funding Program.

The program will ensure the members have welcoming and well-equipped spaces to work on projects, make friends and access support.

“By investing in men’s sheds, we are supporting spaces that create a sense of belonging, contributing to the health and wellbeing of the Greater Shepparton community,” Ms Symes said.

Mooroopna Men’s Shed will receive over $3000 in funding for the purchase of a metal lathe.

Men’s sheds are more than just a place to tinker, they’re an important support network for men right across Victoria, helping them to learn important skills from woodworking to home repairs, while providing a sense of purpose and community.
