Gosford Men’s Shed is set to add a new mezzanine floor after receiving $10,490 through the 2021 Community Building Partnership program.
Gosford Men’s Shed President, Larry Lloyd, said the new mezzanine floor would increase storage space and free up more area for projects
“(We) have been very concerned about the effects recent natural disasters have had on people’s lives, livelihoods and property (and) are working on developing ways that we can help in the recovery efforts around the state.””.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP visited the shed this week to announce the funding.
“The Gosford Men’s Shed is a fantastic organisation of local senior men who come together on a regular basis to work on projects, fix objects or simply as a support network,” she said.
“It’s so important that men come together and share common struggles and understand that there are support networks and people ready to help.
“It’s so pleasing to see community organisations re-starting again and meeting in-person after the challenges of the past two years with COVID-19.
“The fellas tell me that their wives are also appreciative of regular meetings resuming.”
Lloyd thanked Tesch for her support in getting the funding and her previous support in past CBP applications which have enabled extensions to the shed.
