Gosford Men’s Shed is set to go more high-tech thanks to a $4,800 grant from the Federal Government’s Stronger Communities Program and $4,500 from the 2022-23 Volunteer Grants scheme.
With a total of $9,300, the shed is set to buy a 3D printer and new computers.
Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid said Gosford Men’s Shed is an industrious work hub, with many members working on outstanding projects to support the community.
“The Federal Government assistance that has been provided will enable them to print tools, tool pieces and other equipment with a new 3D printer which will help members undertake and complete projects,” he said.
“The new computers will also ensure the shed is up to date with the latest office technology and can complete administrative tasks efficiently.”
Gosford Men’s Shed President Larry Lloyd said the shed has been in operation since 2009.
“The IT grant has enabled us to buy new computers for the first time (and) the 3D printer will encourage the older generation to keep up with technology,” he said.
“The Stronger Communities and the Volunteers grants enable not for profit community-based organisations to grow and prosper.”
