Discover a world of friendship and DIY delights at Karrinyup Men's Shed
In the suburb of Balcatta, lies the Karrinyup Community Men's Shed—a thriving hub of creativity and camaraderie. Initiated by the Rotary Club of Karrinyup, this project aims to promote men's health, foster inclusivity, and provide a supportive working environment.
The primary objectives of the Karrinyup Community Men's Shed are to prevent social isolation and create an inclusive space where men can meet, learn, and support one another. Through various activities, the Shed encourages individuals to develop, teach, and collaborate on projects, regardless of their skill level or background. The focus is not only on enhancing self-esteem and personal growth but also on making a positive impact on members' lives, families, and the community at large.
The Men's Health Initiative at the Karrinyup Men's Shed emphasises access and inclusion. Occupational Therapist Melissa Hitchcock of Yellow Door Therapy Services has played a crucial role in ensuring a supportive environment that meets the diverse needs of the members.
Joining the Karrinyup Community Men's Shed means becoming part of a vibrant community that celebrates collaboration, creativity, and personal development. Experience the joy of working together, acquiring new skills, and forging lasting friendships. Whether you're an experienced craftsman or a beginner, the Shed welcomes men from all walks of life to embark on a supportive journey filled with camaraderie and fulfillment.
The Shed is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 12.30pm, and on Saturdays from 8.30am to 2.30pm.
