The Noosa Women’s Shed is finally up and running independently, supporting and skilling women, by women.
After 18 months of wonderful support and mentorship by members of the Noosa Men’s Shed, enough women are now suitably skilled and trained to run tool accreditation and project sessions on their own.
With the recent move to a larger shared space provided by Noosa Seniors (formally Noosa Community Support Centre) and Noosa Council, they will now be able to run workshops four times per month instead of two, thus catering for the increased need.
The arduous task of clearing and developing the land donated by Unity Water at Wallam Lane Noosa Heads continues.
With Council approval now granted, the Women’s Shed are seeking support from the local community and is continuing to apply for grants to raise funds so that their dream can come true… their own shed.
Even though this is still a work in process, the Noosa Women’s Shed will continue to thrive in confidence and skill. Membership continues to grow (currently 85) enabling more women to being empowered.
More information, membership forms and enquiries can be found on their website at noosawomensshed.com.au or you can follow them on Facebook.
