Support Sheds

There are many ways you can contribute to men’s health and well-being in Victoria by backing the Men’s Shed movement.

Men’s Sheds provide a sense of belonging to men while also serving and enriching the broader community.

Meet Jim, Your Regional Coordinator

Jim is the friendly face you’ll spot criss-crossing Victoria, visiting Men’s Sheds wherever a hand is needed. Whether it’s helping a Shed connect with others nearby, supporting member wellbeing, dropping in for a catch-up, or working through the finer points of governance and compliance, Jim brings practical, on-the-ground support to Sheds across the state.

His role covers a wide range of support, including:

Organising networking opportunities between Sheds so members can share ideas and experience
Visiting Sheds in person to see how things are going and where support is needed
Connecting Sheds with local health services, programs, and support networks that can benefit members
Helping Sheds establish and support Welfare Officers and Wellbeing Coordinators to strengthen member support and inclusion
Supporting health and wellbeing initiatives that help members stay healthy, connected, and engaged
Guiding Sheds through governance matters, from committee structures to compliance requirements
Helping with funding and grant enquiries to keep Sheds running strong

No two days look the same for Jim — some are spent on the road visiting Sheds, others helping with paperwork behind the scenes. Whatever the need, Jim is there to make sure Victorian Men’s Sheds have the support they need to thrive.

Get in touch with Jim for support with networking, visits, health programs, governance, or anything else your Shed might need.
