RATIONALE (30 July 2020)

 

​

Rev’s Revolution is raising funds to help build a Boys’ Shed (roughly speaking).

​

The Boys’ Shed, we believe, is a unique initiative to build a stronger community by providing an opportunity for participants to grow into strong young men: thoughtful, practical, resilient, self-confident; young men who are self-aware and willing to grow into their own skin.

​

It is a safe and supportive environment for participants and mentors to be themselves; to develop social and practical skills; and to work on their own woodwork and construction projects from recycled and reclaimed timber. It is also a place to nurture a culture of encouragement, co-operation and social responsibility as young people face their own issues within our world.

​

The Boys’ Shed started over two yers ago in my garage and it is time to expand our vision, and a purpose built Boys’ Shed will allow more participants to attend more often - as one solution to a growing need within our community.

​

I’ve committed myself to riding 5,000km on my bicycle - beginning on the first of August - which works out to be approximately 100kms a week for a whole year. It is both a personal challenge and a challenge to raise $25,000 or at least half of the funds to enable us to build the shed.

​

Project REGENERATE, of which Rev’s Revolution is a part, is an ambitious 5 year plan to Renew PEOPLE, Revive PROJECTS, and Restore PLACE as  part of our vision for the Anglican Church of Warracknabeal and the region.

​

I hope that there is a way you will be able to support us - and I thank you for your generosity.
