The Men’s Shed Whanganui brings and supports those who are retired to come together to be active in mind and body, build healthy relationships and be apart of a thriving community of people revolved around similar interests. They say it has been incredible for men and their mental health as well as not feeling alone. It provides a service in the community where people can come and have furniture restored at a quoted cost which helps the running of the shed. The Shed has over 50 paid members who can come on a Tuesday and Thursday to utilise the equipment and machinery for either their personal projects or add a lending hand someone else’s project. If you are retired and would love to get around a positive community, learn a new skill or use your knowledge to help others, the Men’s Shed Whanganui is a perfect place to be.
