Member for Wyong David Harris was among special guests to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Wyong Women’s Shed.
He and other guests from Lake Haven Bunnings, Wyong Leagues Club, Creightons Funerals and Creating for Charity were welcomed by president Kim Moylan and vice president Colette Burton.
“It was great to celebrate with the members of the group and hear how Wyong Women’s Shed has positively impacted their lives by offering a variety of benefits, including a supportive environment, friendship and to learn arts and crafts,” Harris said.
“Making connections and building relationships is important for our wellbeing, creating a safe space.”
Moylan said the anniversary brought members together to share a grazing table full of fruits, sandwiches, and sweets.
“Our members have worked on projects such as donating beanies to Orange Sky, Sensory Mats and adult bibs for Bethshan Gardens Nursing Home and an ANZAC Day Poppy wreath for Toukley RSL which is on display in their foyer,” she said.
Wyong Women’s Shed also donates their sewing creations to Creating for Charity who distribute to charities and community organisations.
“We have a great group of women who support each other in every way while we create arts and crafts and today was an achievement for all of us to look back on five wonderful years with many more to come,” Burton said.
