"We all know about the important role they play in our local community and they're always willing to lend a hand with local fundraisers and community events, so it's fantastic to be able to support them in return," Mr Taylor said.

Mr Taylor chose the Men's Shed as one of 14 community groups to receive funding due to their service to the community.

"They do an amazing job and the work they do for the underprivileged is extraordinary.
