Since 2013:
In the heart of North Perth in the City of Vincent, Western Australia, a vibrant community centre and workshop has been making waves and fostering camaraderie for a decade. As we bid farewell to a memorable year at Vincent Men’s Shed, where we celebrated our 10th anniversary with a heart warming festive lunch, we extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible individuals who have contributed to our success. Looking forward to 2024, we are thrilled to share the exciting news of our transformation into Vincent Community Shed. This evolution marks a new chapter in our commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive community.
Reflecting on 2023:
The end-of-year festive lunch served as a momentous occasion to reflect on the milestones achieved by Vincent Men’s Shed throughout 2023. It was an opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the community members who joined us in this journey. The 10th anniversary celebration in collaboration with North Perth Community Garden was a testament to the unwavering support and dedication of our volunteers, participants, and supporters. From woodworking projects to community events, every endeavour was a building block in the creation of a tight-knit, supportive community.
A Heartfelt Thank You:
Our heartfelt thanks go out to each person who played a role in the success of Vincent Men’s Shed during our 10th anniversary year.
