"Three community organisations desperate to find good, supportive programmes for their people have been in touch. After three months, one group has had three of their people sign up as shed members."
She says setting up their new premises feels great and the members are excited about this new chapter.
"The building has great potential, it's in a good location close to public transport, situated in a busy industrial, business area, and north facing.
"The owners and our real estate agent love what we're doing and hopes everything goes well for us."
She says they have many goals for their new space, including laying down concrete outside to expand the workshop area, creating an outdoor market place selling things made at the shed, and becoming a training provider at an entry level.
Jocelyn says any offers of help, donations or sponsorships to aid in the shed makeover and its ongoing work would be greatly appreciated.
