Port Phillip Men's Shed

The Port Phillip Men's Shed will be popping up on the corner of Coventry and Cecil Streets and selling their wonderful timber toys, cutting boards, candle holders, trays, pizza servers, stationary stands and more! These are the perfect little gift and support a wonderful organisation. 

A men's shed is a community-based, non-commercial organisation that is open to men. Men's sheds provide a place where men can feel included and safe. The aim of men's sheds is to improve the health and wellbeing of their members.

The Port Phillip Men's Shed is an updated version of the shed in the backyard that has long been a part of Australian culture. If you looked inside one you might see a number of men restoring furniture, perhaps restoring bicycles for a local school, maybe making Mynah bird traps or fixing lawn mowers or making a kids cubby house for Camp Quality to raffle. You might also see a few young men working with the older men learning new skills and maybe also learning something about life from the men they work with. You will see tea-bags, coffee cups and a comfortable area where men can sit and talk. You will probably also see an area where men can learn to cook for themselves or they can learn how to contact their families by computer.
