About Us - Rostrevor Men’s Shed
Our Story
Founded in 2015, Rostrevor Men’s Shed began as a small group of individuals who shared a passion for our community.
The concept was to provide a meeting place to bring men together for companionship and purposeful activities where men could continue to pursue creative things and share life experiences.
We are a non-profit community club and do a lot of work for other non profit community groups. The Shed is basically financed by its members through a variety of enjoyable fund raising projects and grants from various organisations for major improvements and purchases.
We started our 'Shed' from a local Social Club's car park where we planted our first crops in tonne bags. We held our meetings and presentations at the club's premises.
In 2017 we moved into our own premises thanks to our local council.
It was old and tired but had wonderful potential....
