Building on the Men’s Shed Community in Toongabbie
Toongabbie & District Men’s Shed extension opens today!
The Andrews Labor Government is creating more positive, safe and practical spaces for men from Toongabbie to work together and contribute to their local community.
Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing today opened the Toongabbie & District Men’s Shed extension
This adds to the tally of 70 men’s sheds the Labor Government has already built or upgraded since November 2014.
Each year, the Labor Government provides $1 million to support men’s sheds in Victoria, which includes funding for the Victorian Men’s Shed Association.
Men’s sheds are safe and practical places for men to meet, make social connections and actively participate in their local communities.
The Labor Government is a proud supporter of men’s sheds and recognises the important role they play in bringing communities together. For more information, visit providers.dhhs.vic.gov.au/mens-shed-program.
