What We Do
A large part of the Men’s Shed movement is for mental health. Many members have lost the support of friends and spouses and need the structure of regular meetings to have a reason to get out and socialise.
The Peach City Men’s Shed will achieve this and will promote activity within the group.
Not only are we able to provide the above but we are community driven by taking on woodworking projects to benefit the community at large and to help individuals.
Funding
The Peach City Men’s Shed is a non-profit society and relies on funding from other groups to help with expenses. For the projects we undertake we would look at donated materials.
As a new Shed we are actively seeking woodworking tools and machinery as well as materials of all kinds for our community project undertakings.
Goals
The ultimate goal is to acquire a space in the Penticton area where we can establish a woodworking shop that is available to members at any time. The workshop could include space for our regular meetings and as such will need to have some basics such as a washroom and has to be fully accessible.
This will be a place where we can efficiently complete our projects.
The best case scenario would be a no cost space but if funding is available then we will look at rental option.
Possible Projects
Visit our Projects page to see what we’ve done in the community!
Modifying living spaces to be more accessible by adding handrails and ramps as needed, for example.
Assisting other charitable groups by building benches, tables or whatever might be needed to help them help their clients.
We will consider any need.
We are currently meeting every Thursday at 12:30 in the Penticton Seniors Centre
