Peninsula North Baxter Men’s Shed Update

The Peninsula North Baxter Men’s Shed have faced a challenging time after a devastating fire destroyed their building in late 2022. However, there’s good news on the horizon. Their local Shire Council has confirmed that building works are about to commence, with the hope that the Shed will be back in operation by the end of the year.

In the meantime, the group continues to meet weekly at the Baxter CFA rooms. Recently, they had the pleasure of hearing from guest speakers from StandBy Support After Suicide. These dedicated outreach workers shared insights into the vital support they provide to families affected by suicide, offering a range of programs, including online support, group sessions, and personal counselling.
