Men’s Health Week 2023

We are excited to announce the launch of our $500 small grants program, designed to help sheds host events to celebrate Men’s Health Week 2023 and to increase participation, volunteering, shed diversity and to reduce social isolation and loneliness in your sheds community. Applications open 11 April and close 15 May. Applicants will be notified of the outcome after the grant round closes.

Sheds successful in our small grants program are required to submit an acquittal at the end of your project to report on the outcomes and expenditure of funds provided by Men’s Sheds of WA.
