Our History
Morpeth Men’s Shed was established February 2009 as an outreach organisation of the Morpeth Uniting Church.
Following construction of our new Sheds we have now relocated to our new location at 21 Duckenfield Road, Morpeth NSW where we now operate 3 days a week. Most Mondays 9.00am to 2.00pm and Wednesdays 9.00am to 3.00pm. Predominately Mondays and Wednesdays are for Workshop activities, and Fridays 9.00am to 3.00pm for full social members and workshop activities.
Our Aim
To unite men of all walks of life, ages and persuasions, provide education in Men’s Health, and assist them to become healthy and satisfied members of the community whilst providing skills, friendship and a sense of accomplishment and someone to talk to should they feel the need.
Activities & Subjects
Our mission is to bring together men from all walks of life, across all ages, backgrounds, and personal beliefs, fostering a sense of inclusion and shared purpose. We aim to provide valuable education and raise awareness around important aspects of men’s health—physical, mental, and emotional—so that individuals are better equipped to lead healthy, balanced lives. Through a supportive and welcoming environment, we encourage personal growth by offering opportunities to develop practical skills, build lasting friendships, and achieve a genuine sense of accomplishment. Just as importantly, we strive to ensure that every man has someone to talk to—a trusted peer or community member—should he ever feel the need to reach out, share, or seek support.
