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
