Mentors help Thursday crew build skills and confidence at Men’s Shed

Some of the Thursday gang members with some of their social workers.

The Nambour Men's Shed has been running a special day specifically for its members who require some assistance in working with tools due to their disability.  

The shed is open every Thursday only for its members with a disability. Those members who are experienced in using tools work as mentors on that day. 

Most members with a disability arrive in the morning with their social workers and work on their projects. 

“The projects may vary from a simple CD box to cutting boards, wooden pizza servers to hobby horses,” said club member Dr Zafer Sarac. 

“The members not only learn some design and basic construction skills but also leave the shed at the end of the day with great achievement and satisfaction. Some members with a disability come only for socialising which is great by itself.”

The Nambour Men's Shed is open to every man.
