The Regional Coordinators Initiative is here to help Sheds

By now, many of you have met Frank Pearce, our Regional Coordinator. The Men’s Sheds Regional Coordinators Initiative is an Australian government program that aims to support men’s health and wellbeing by connecting men’s sheds throughout the country to health activities and resources.

The program provides funding to hire regional coordinators who work with men’s sheds in their area to help them access resources, improve their facilities and activities, and build relationships with their communities. Frank is available to help all Sheds in Queensland (irrespective of their membership status).

What else can the Regional Coordinator Initiative help with?

• Shed Visits Frank has visited nearly 80% of the sheds in the state over the past three years. He’s eager to connect with your Shed and offer his support.

• Men’s Health Programs Need support for health initiatives or events? Frank has a treasure trove of resources to help, many of which are available online: Men’s Health Resources.

• General Shed Advice Facing a specific shed-related issue? Frank’s experience makes him a helpful resource for practical solutions.
