The Forest Community Men's Shed
Frenchs Forest Lions Club is proud to be associated with The Forest Community Men's Shed Project. Our club instigated the project in September 2004 when one of our members saw the opportunity to establish a community meeting place and 'drop-in' centre specifically aimed at improving the health, well-being and quality of life of retired and older aged men in the greater Forest area. Frenchs Forest Lions Club invited the Rotary Club of Belrose and UnitingCare Ageing-Northern Sydney Region to join the project and together these organisations became the Principal Sponsors. The Men's Shed is located in the Sydney suburb of Belrose and recently celebrated its third full year of operations.
