Member for Algester and Minister for Innovation Leeanne Enoch is encouraging the local community to sign the expression of support calling for a new home to be found for the local Men’s Shed.
“I have been working closely with representatives from the Men’s Shed to find a permanent home for them.
“Now I’m calling on the local community to join me in finding our local Men’s Shed a new home. I know the benefits that Men’s Sheds provide and I’m working hard to keep our local Shed.
“A strong show of community support will demonstrate the need for these facilities and help me to make the case for the provision of a site”.

President of the Forest Lake Men’s Shed, Steve Bruford welcomed the support and encouraged people to sign up to the expression of support.
“We are very lucky to have Leeanne’s support to help drive the campaign to find a location.”
“Men’s Sheds support men in the community to build friendships, widen their social sphere and encourage and support men’s health and wellbeing.
“This expression of support is about asking the community to help us to make the Men’s Shed a reality.”
