Testimonials

 I wanted to formally thank you for the time and effort you put towards our Community Library for our Chatterbox Early Learning and Childcare centre in Paddington. Your creativeness, imagination, dedication, and thoughtfulness towards our fabulous library has not gone unnoticed. You went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations! It is wonderful to have men like you within our community and I know that our families and children are going to adore the library.

 Toombul Croquet Club Inc would like to thank the men’s shed for helping us with the repair of our trolleys. These trolleys carry our hoops and balls, and they were in not too good a condition. The hoops were falling off and generally it was a nuisance. They are jolly heavy to carry, so having them repaired is a great help. However, Peter came along and collected the trolleys, and has done a great job on them. To come along and collect them and bring them back was also a great help. Thanks to Peter and Mick. The Men’s Shed is such a splendid a splendid organization and we at Toombul C.C can’t thank you enough.

Do you have Deductible Gift Recipient Status?

We are a not for profit charity and incorporated non-commercial community group. Donations to our shed are tax deductible as we are registered with the ATO as a Deductible Gift Recipient..

What do you do with donated items?

Firstly if we can use the items they will be put to good use in our shed. Surplus, damaged or broken items not required by the shed are inspected and refurbished. These surplus items are then either passed on to other sheds, worthy recipients or sold off to raise club funds.   

How is the club funded?

The shed is primarily funded by member subscriptions, donations, fund raising and the occasional grant. The main source of our fund raising is recycling containers, Bunnings BBQ's and small donations. We also have several local businesses who regularly donate tools and materials. To enable us to continue to provide the resources for members we are need further help and support from individuals, businesses and organisations.
