COMMUNITY PROJECTS Community Assistance
In it's first two years, the Shed completed ninety-three community
projects for groups such as:
- Nowra's Custodial Grandparents,
- Nowra & Berry Museums,
- Berry School of Arts,
- Aged care facilities such as Osborne
House & Berry Masonic Village,
- Berry Community Activity Centre,
- Berry Showground,
- Pre-schools and Primary schools,
- Berry RSL Sub Branch and the Berry
Chamber of Commerce.
One of the largest and most detailed projects
to date involved twenty-six members who worked on designing, constructing
and landscaping a memorial garden at Shoalhaven District Memorial
Hospital. It was quite a feat to design a sustainable garden in
a very harsh glass walled environment. The project also involved
Shoalhaven PCYC, who painted murals depicting locals involved
in the war effort. The demand for assistance from the Shed is
such that there is a three-month waiting list. The small charge
made for each project is used to service machinery and tools.
