Its waiting list is growing but it doesn't have the capacity to add to its 60-strong outfit.
To give 20 new members the opportunity to get their hands dirty while enjoying the social benefits, the shed is expanding, literally, by adding on to its site at Rotary Park.
But with COVID-19 decimating the flow of work and income, the shed needs the community’s support to get the job done.
“We had the funds available to buy the shed and we are in the process of erecting it ourselves,” shed president Peter Graham said.
“Now we have to hire a scissor-lift to get the roofing done and we have to concrete the floor – they’re the two biggest costs we haven’t been able to cover.
“We’ve been closed for nearly six months due to COVID. Just like many businesses around town we’ve suffered with lack of income.
“Being a non-profit organisation, anything can help us in the way of jobs or donations.”
To make matters worse, the shed’s beer fridge “blew-up”, so Mr Graham is hoping “some kind retailer has a second-hand fridge that works”.
The shed’s attendance numbers haven’t bounced back from COVID-19 since it re-opened earlier this year, which is also worrying Mr Graham.
“We’ve noticed a bit of a drop-off due to COVID - a lot of the members who used to attend regularly,” he said.
“I think people have got used to sitting around at home.
“It bothers me to know the reason for the drop-off in attendance and the fact we haven’t had work coming through on a regular basis.
“I think our biggest job in the future will be to able to come up with ideas of things for members to do or make, to generate the work and interest for them.
“Our priorities have been on everything else but that of late.”
If you can help the shed, contact Mr Graham on 0498 480 246.
