Members' shed strengthens wellbeing and community

2026

Inspired by the concept of a Men's Shed, Corrstown Golf Club has established a Members' Shed, welcoming both men and women. The initiative was created in response to concerns that some members were experiencing social isolation, a loss of purpose, and challenges relating to their physical and mental wellbeing.

An unused storeroom was repurposed into a meeting room and workshop, while a greenhouse was also constructed to support a variety of practical activities. The Members' Shed provides a welcoming space where participants can develop new skills, work on shared projects, and build meaningful social connections.

The initiative is founded on the belief that people thrive when they feel useful, respected, and connected to others. Since its introduction, the Members' Shed has become a valued part of club life, strengthening the sense of community while promoting health, wellbeing, and social inclusion among members.
