David Lowe privately runs a Men’s Shed on his Toowoomba property.

Communities are enriching aspects of life  and a shed in Toowoomba is encouraging men to engage with each other.

At David Lowe’s privately runs a men’s shed, a group of up to 20 blokes meet and don tool belts for charitable causes.

University of Queensland professor of rural community development Helen Ross says groups such as this help bring communities together.
