Our Mission
The Malanda Men’s Shed is a community-based, non-profit, non-commercial organisation that is accessible to all men over 18 years old. Our primary activity is the provision of a safe, friendly and healing environment where men are able to work on meaningful projects at their own pace in their own time in the company of other men. A major objective is to advance the well-being and health of members and to encourage social inclusion.

Our core values are.
· Teamwork and Inclusion
· Contribution to the community
· Pride in work and learning new skills
· Integrity
· Acceptance

The objectives of the Shed are to advance the mental health and well-being of our members and to relieve social isolation by providing a safe and happy environment where skilled and unskilled men can, in the company of other men,
(a) pursue hobbies, pastimes and interests
(b) learn new skills, practice and pass on old skills
(c) learn about their own health and well-being
(d) receive information, education and training on health and wellbeing issues such as first aid training, men’s health checks, seminars and guest speakers
(e) improve the health and wellbeing of members and reduce the number of men who are at risk from preventable health issues that may emanate from isolation
(f) by their efforts, contribute to their families, their friends, the Men’s Shed and their community
