Supporting the Women's Shed
Our goal is to ensure that women all over Aotearoa feel right at home with a power tool in hand - confident, capable, and ready to take on whatever practical job needs doing.
But we can't do it alone!
We rely on the generous support of individuals, volunteers, businesses, donors and funders to help us make this vision a reality.
If you would like to know more about support the Women's Shed, please reach out.
Volunteer with us!
Women's Shed Aotearoa is made possible by a number of incredible wahine who give their time, energy and expertise to help us grow and do incredible things.
As we grow, we are going to need a wide range of skills on board - both in ongoing volunteer roles, and occasional bits and pieces. It all helps, and there's a good chance that at some point we will have a need for your skills and passion!

Help us build our new shed!
At the Women's Shed, we reckon women can do anything blokes can - sometimes they just need the opportunity and encouragement to give it a go. We are a registered charity offering a friendly, no-judgement space where women can pick up tools, build their confidence, and learn practical skills together.
For the last 2 years, we've been running beginner and intermediate workshops in a borrowed workshop space - with over 450 wāhine coming through our doors!
🚨 BUT our lease is ending soon! We desperately need a new home to meet the sustained demand for our courses, expand our offering to work with young and marginalised people, create pathways into trades, and create a drop in space for all local women to come in and get on the tools.
And what better way than to build our own Shed! 💪
We have found a new home at Country Lane in Frankton, and need to begin building early 2026. We have local funders onboard to support the project, but we are still going to be just shy of our target.
That's why we turning to our local community for support.
Every dollar counts to make our new Shed a reality! 🙏
