Sheds are community based social organisations providing hands-on activities for men and women usually aged 50 years of age and older who are
co-participants in a defined space. Sheds provide a space for people to meet,socialise, learn new skills and take part in a number of activities. Most Sheds are equipped with a range of workshop tools and other equipment. Shed programmes aim to improve people’s physical, emotional, social, spiritual health and well-being. Core elements of Sheds are:

• friendly places of leisure where men  and women come together to work
• places where men and women work together, engage with one another more
  and friendships are made. There is a feeling of camaraderie and being able to
  talk about their problems in a good way, one that will improve health.
• places of skill-sharing and informal learning, of individual pursuits
  and community projects, of purpose, achievement and social interaction

• places that will contribute to peoples sense
  of achievement and value to the community
