Macclesfield Men's Shed - small in numbers but big on impact & outcomes

The Macclesfield Men's Shed in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia has only twenty members, but it has just been awarded Shed of the Year. 

The Macclesfield Men’s Shed was recognised as Shed of the Year at the Australian Men’s Shed Association’s 10th national gathering in Murray Bridge.

Maccelsfield Men’s Shed chairman Ken Smith said the group of around 20 men was “very excited” about the win.

“We were a bit taken aback with it all, we’re only a relatively small shed,” Smith said.

“We started in about 2016, and our first project was we bought a shed off a farmer he didn’t want, and we pulled that down, moved it, and put it up basically at our expense. We got it started on our own.

“The shed has just grown from there.”

The Macclesfield Mens Shed is a community-based, non-profit, non-commercial organization that is available to all men.
 
Our primary activity is the provision of a safe and friendly environment where men are able to work on meaningful projects at their own pace in their own time in the company of other men. A major objective is to advance the well-being and health of their members.
​
The Macclesfield Mens Shed is based in Macclesfield, South Australia and is located at the Macclesfield Sporting Complex.
​
We started life in 2017 with a Welcome Barbecue hosted by our Convener, Ken Smith and enlisted around 30 members on the spot.
​
We are a member of the Australian Mens Shed Association.
​
New members and visitors are always welcome.
