Purpose of the Shed:

• Our Shed is a community based, not-for-profit, non-commercial organisation accessible to all persons over the age of 16. The Shed provides a safe, friendly and healthy environment where members are able to participate in the varied activities available to all members.
• To provide a supportive environment for people to gather, volunteer, teach, learn and seek friendship with others.
• To promote the wellbeing of Shed members and people within the local community.

To achieve this, we will:

• Maintain an open-door policy and not reject any person on the basis of race, sex, disability, religion or age — although some special conditions may apply, for example if a member requires a carer.
• Provide a safe physical environment, a supportive social environment and provide referrals to other services or agencies when appropriate or requested.
• Respect the rights, decisions and confidentiality of all members.

The work environment at the Shed:

• Management will not tolerate abuse, bullying, violence, anti-social behaviour or infringement of the rights of others. Members who indulge in this behaviour may have their membership terminated.
• Members are expected to be courteous to other members, supervisors, members of the Management Committee and other users of the Shed.
