Welcome to the Gympie Women’s Shed, a nurturing environment dedicated to fostering the advancement, creativity, and unity of women. Step into our inclusive haven, where women from various age groups and backgrounds come together to build connections, expand their knowledge, and thrive. We’ve recently completed our initial development phase, which included the selection of our Board of Directors and fulfilling all necessary governance and business requirements. This journey also involved registering the Gympie Women’s Shed as an incorporated (IA4702399) not-for-profit charity organization, enabling us to achieve full DGR (Deductible Gift Recipients) status.

Goals

The Gympie Women’s Shed was established to be a charity whose purpose is to advance the health and well being of the Gympie Region residents by offering a gendered space to:

Improve the health of women who are at risk of health issues arising from loneliness and isolation.
Facilitate programs that address mental, physical and emotional health issues in women.
Provide meaningful activities where women can participate in the company of others to relieve isolation and loneliness.
Grow an inclusive community by utilising and sharing the strengths and skills of our members
Undertake charitable activities for the benefit of the broader community.
