The Hills Men’s Shed (HMS) is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 am until 4 pm with Wednesday from 1 pm – 4 pm being a social afternoon.

HMS will provide men with the opportunity to receive social support and develop a range of skills, competencies and renewed confidence and independence in order to lead healthy and happy lives within their community. This will be achieved through empowering and enabling men who may be employed, unemployed, retired or living with a disability, to engage in a variety of social, training and education opportunities, and to adopt leadership and volunteer positions integral to the successful functioning of the shed.
