The Men's Sheds Movement started in Australia in the 1990's and is gradually spreading around the world, enriching men's lives as it grows. It is estimated that the number of Men's Sheds globally is approaching 3,000, operating in 12 counties.

A men's shed is a community-based, non-commercial organisation that is open to men. Men's sheds provide a place where men can feel included and safe. The aim of men's sheds is to improve the health and wellbeing of their members.

The Men's Shed concept was an Australian initiative from very humble beginnings; the idea has now spread internationally with Men's Shed Associations operated by health authorities and other entities in Ireland, UK, New Zealand, Canada, US, Kenya, and South Africa.
