Kincumber 5th Birthday

THE first of many men’s sheds on the Central Coast began at Kincumber in 2006 and it is now celebrating five years of operation.

A small group of enthusiastic men gave their time and, in some cases, money so the Kincumber Men’s Shed could start operating.

These included Peter Jessop, Wally Morison, Joe Horner, Mike Clarke and Alan Sparks. Current vice president Bert Ward said it was a matter of gathering equipment from people who no longer used it.

“In recent years, companies and organisations such as the Davistown RSL, Kincumber Mitre 10, Bunnings Hardware and others have made generous donations of equipment and funds,” he said.
“Without their support, the shed could not purchase the material for toys and items for disabled or physically impaired groups.


“The shed has a number of people who attend in wheelchairs and on crutches and needs funding for facilities.”

Shed programs include the production of toys for organisations that help children. The men also make repairs at schools, hospitals, retirement villages and homes for the disabled.
