Belconnen Community Men's Shed

In the Assembly today, I publicly honoured the Belconnen Community Men’s Shed and its role in helping men in Page and surrounding suburbs have access to essential social connections and meaningful activities. As research shows, many older Australians who leave the workforce experience significant loneliness. Gordon Cooper and his team are doing a great job of tackling this issue. I likewise thanked Mosaic Baptist Church, which facilitated the building of the Shed, and the 48 generous businesses and community organisations that sponsor it.
