What We Do
The WCW was developed in 2020 as an inclusive community resource where people can access the tools, materials, learning and physical space necessary for building and repair projects, without having to purchase or rent their own.
Members are learning and sharing a range of skills, using the facilities for their own projects, host ing and attend Workshops or simply drop in for a cup of tea and some companionship.
Through Wo(Men)Shed and Fabricate members are also volunteering their time or skills, to create things for the Upper Clutha Community.

A big thanks to our financial supporters






Testimonials
I retired and moved to Wanaka, and didn’t feel like I fitted in. I suffered from severe depression and anxiety. I was so excited when I saw there were moves to open a Community Workshop and Men’s Shed.
I didn’t want to get up in the morning. And since the Workshop has been in operation there is definitely a purpose to life. Meeting different age groups from different backgrounds, and being able to discuss anything and everything has been so beneficial to my mental well-being. – Alan
