More than $12,000 in funding has been awarded to Men’s Sheds in Eden-Monaro under the latest round of the National Shed Development Programme (NDSP).
The next round of NDSP is also now open and Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain encouraged local Men’s Shed to apply before the 27 September deadline.
“Men’s Sheds play a vital role supporting the health and wellbeing of men across Eden-Monaro,” Ms McBain said.
“They’re spaces where men can come together, work on projects, make friends and importantly provide support when times are tough.
“That’s why I’m thrilled that three new grants will better support Men’s Sheds in Batlow, Nimmitabel and Tumbarumba. This funding will be used to improve facilities, purchase tools and host community events.
“Our communities have gone through a tough time over the past few years, meaning the social support and engagement our Men’s Sheds offer is more critical now than ever.
“Applications are currently open for the next round of Men’s Shed grants and I encourage all Eden-Monaro Men’s Sheds to apply for up to $8,000 in funding.”
Men’s Sheds can apply for financial support across the following funding categories:
- Health, Wellbeing and Events - $8,000 maximum
- Shed Improvements - $8,000 maximum
- Equipment - $5,000 maximum
- Mental Health, Wellbeing and Events - $8,000 maximum
- Defibrillators - $2,250 maximum
Applications close Tuesday 27 September. For further information visit: https://mensshed.org/development-grants/
