Men’s Sheds of WA is a not-for-profit organisation. We are often funded by member fees, Government grants and donations. We rely on support from sponsors, individuals and the community to give back to WA sheds and their communities.
We know there are significant personal benefits for the members of Men’s Sheds. In a recent UK study they found 25% of respondents said they have definitely saved one of their member’s lives, and a further 14% said they felt confident they have saved one of their member’s lives.
