This project closed on 30 June 2022. This also coincided with the closure of Rotary Club of Croydon-Montrose (sponsor club) on 30 June 2022. The Montrose Men’s Shed was also heavily impacted by Covid-19 causing membership to fall by 50%. Montrose Men’s Shed was also eligible to receive Deductible Gift Recipient status as a member of the Australian Mens Shed Association.
Project History
The Montrose Men’s Shed is a community based not for profit organisation initiated by the former Rotary Club of Montrose and District that is accessible to all men and whose primary activity is the provision of a safe, friendly and active environment where men are able to work on meaningful projects at their own pace, in their own time and in the company of other men. Its major objectives are to advance the health and wellbeing of men and to encourage social interaction. In May 2017, the Joint Venture was established to facilitate tax deductible contributions and donations in kind to support the further expansion of the Shed and to purchase a range of woodworking equipment.
