I've seen quite a few articles about the growing problems with men's health, isolation, loneliness and depression that are now looming as major health issues in Australia. Brilliantly there is a significant and growing movement that is starting to address this at a grass roots level- with no governments or corporates involved. Community men's sheds are spreading across Australia as a place where men - particularly the elderly - can gather and not only use the equipment, but also mingle and socialise. Men’s Sheds can play a significant and practical role in addressing these and other men’s issues and at the same time act as a catalyst in stimulating their community's economic activities.
