PEOPLE BEFORE PROJECTS.

Our focus as a Shed continues to be ‘who’ we are working with rather than ‘what’ we are producing. We erected our new sign this Autumn to make it clear to all our ‘Sheddies” . Enjoying a meal together, sharing advice, going on a fishing trip or simply watching the activity of the Shed is all part of our plan ‘to assist other men to achieve and enjoy their God-given potential’.  

 

FUN BUILDING A BUNK BED.
We were asked to do an article for the next NZ Shed magazine about how to build a bunk / desk unit. The Steering Group then agreed it would be good to donate it to a worthy family. The CrossOver Trust at South West Baptist Church provided us with a suitable recipient. We thought it would be good to supply it complete with a mattress.  Dreamwool agreed to supply one.  Alsop Joinery had donated the customwood and Cabots the french polish.  A very happy 9 year old girl is now the proud owner of this unit.
One of our highlights each week is to work with people who struggle to express their creative side due to a disability.
