The Romsey Lancefield Rotary Club is driving a campaign to establish a Men’s Shed in Romsey.
The club is calling for anyone interested in creating a Men’s Shed for the town to join a meeting at the Romsey Community Hub on Friday.
President Anne Collins said the project was “a very important step to take for the men of Romsey”.
“Men’s Sheds have been proven very successful in improving mental health problems for men and also creating a place for mates to meet up, if only for a cuppa and biscuit, and more importantly, a chat with other men.”
Ms Collins said a local resident had offered to host the shed on his land, while another had donated tools valued about $28,000.
She said Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas and Macedon Ranges acting mayor Janet Pearce would open the community forum, at which the community and members of other Men’s Sheds would discuss plans for the Romsey project, including administrative and financial details.
The meeting will be held on Friday, May 4, from 2-4pm at Romsey Community Hub, Main Street.
