Mens Shed will expand hours

LANGWARRIN Mens Shed is extending its hours.

The shed is currently open from 9am to 4.30pm each weekday for members. From 9 October the shed will also open from 6pm to 9pm each Monday.

Langwarrin Mens Shed president Steven Schyschow said he hoped the new hours would help more people access the shed’s services. “Generally, men’s sheds are thought of as a place for retired men. However our goal is to be available to a broader group of men in our community. The dominant purpose of Langwarrin Mens Shed is to advance improvements in men’s mental health issues and relieving social isolation,” he said. “The Langwarrin Mens Shed is an active group in our community with over 90 members. The shed not only provides facilities for the traditional trades such as wood and metal working, but also a CNC Laser cutter and a CNC router cutting machines. We have an active computer group who run various training sessions and administrative requirements. For those who are feeling energetic, there is also a bike riding group where the coffee stop is as important as the ride.”
