Located amidst the serene surroundings of Sheffield, the Men’s Shed serves as a gathering place for approximately 50 dedicated individuals. From metal fabrication, blacksmithing to ceramic artistry, the Shed embodies a diverse range of skills and expertise. With our grant exceeding $5000, the shed was able to acquire essential tools, ensuring safety and efficiency in their operations. Thank you, Kentish Community Men’s Shed, for allowing us to play a role in the vital work you do with communities in the North West! TasNetworks launches Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)TasNetworks recently launched its Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan at Tiagarra, one of Australia's oldest Aboriginal Keeping Places, nestled on the stunning Mersey Bluff in Devonport. The culturally significant event was organised in collaboration with the Six Rivers Aboriginal Corporation. The Innovate RAP is building on the success of TasNetworks' Reflect RAP (launched in 2021), paving the way for a more inclusive, diverse, and culturally safe workplace. Got feedback?
