Arriving at the St Alban’s Church in Wilston at 10am on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, you’ll catch a group of older gentlemen enjoying smoko, discussing their latest projects.
You’ve found the Wilston Men’s Shed, an organisation focused on helping men with their projects and providing them with a space to work alongside others.
This Men’s Shed is pretty special. On Wednesday and Friday mornings, some of the men teach basic woodwork skills to the daycare kids next door, with kid-friendly tools.
We spoke to David Maley, the chairman of Wilston Men’s Shed, about the organisation.
