Sheds WA

Telling the sheds stories

Sheds are a community hub for men throughout WA. They are full of people with interesting stories and they are all involved in work that betters their members and their communities. We are telling these stories through our new newsletter Sheds WA! To start we will be issuing three editions a year, 24 pages an edition. Each Sheds WA newsletter will be full of stories from the sheds as well as men’s wellbeing advice from our Chaplain and our friends at the Regional Men’s Health Initiative.

There are over 7,000 shedders in more than 180 sheds in WA. Our newsletter reaches all of them with print copies delivered to each shed, for the shed to enjoy but also to be circulated through the shed communities.
