Hunter Men's Shed receive funding boost

BY MICHAEL COOK

Five Men's Sheds in the Hunter have been granted shared funding of over $18,000 to continue the positive impact they have in the community.

The funding comes from the National Men's Shed Development Programme which offers grants to support groups invest in community projects, training and seminars as well as purchasing tools and equipment.

Those receiving a share of the funding include Wangi, Branxton-Greta, Muswellbrook and Cessnock as well as Lake Macquarie Classic Boat Association.

Federal Member for Hunter, Joel Fitzgibbon says grants like this help the Men's Sheds and the community as a whole.

"Men's Sheds have been a great success.

"They are very good for those who are active in the Sheds and are of course doing great work in the community," he said.
