We are a group of men from the Wallsend area which is in the city of Newcastle in NSW Australia. Our volunteer members provide their time, skills and experience to support the local community.

Our main focus is community and charitable activities for the local region, but one of the driving concepts behind Men’s sheds is to alleviate isolation and provide men with opportunities for regular social contact, ensuring a more cohesive and inclusive society. We support men of all ages, and endeavour to teach each other new skills in the men’s shed.

Our Current Executive Committee is as follows:

President: John Devlin

Vice President: Graeme Berry

Treasurer: Phillip Murnain

Secretary: Roy Powell

Members Rep: Anthony McDermott

Members Rep: Stephen Devon

Men’s Sheds are not just for men, they are for all people who want to help with activities and raising funds to help support local repairs both in our shed and in the community.

We also have our “Blue Gum Hills Men’s Shed Women’s Auxiliary”, and we encourage new members to this group. They help to raise money through various activities both at the shed and outside for our community activities. They meet once a week at the Men’s Shed on Thursdays at 11 am.

The Men’s Shed members normally have their Morning Tea break in our social room on Tue,Wed & Thur about 9:30 am at 20 Ganney Road Wallsend (corner Ganney Rd & Bousfield St).
