Whilst we recognise Men’s Sheds are an important social connector for many older Australians, it is imperative that every measure is taken to protect ourselves and our nation from exposure to the coronavirus. During this closure, we encourage Shedders to maintain contact with each other via phone, email or social media look out for your mates. AMSA will launch new initiatives within the coming weeks, aimed at helping Shedders to remain socially connected during this time of isolation. AMSA staff are also maintaining support services.
