MORE THAN JUST A SHED....If you looked inside Men’s shed you might see a number of men making furniture, perhaps making reindeer for Christmas or a dairy rotary for a young precious community member.You might also see a few young men working with the older men obtaining new skills and learning something about life from the men with whom they work. You might see local elders making and designing arts and crafts. You will see teabags, coffee cups and a comfortable area where men can sit and talk. You will probably also see an area where men can learn to cook for themselves or how to contact their families by computer.The Timboon Men’s Shed has found its humble beginnings 16 years ago at the Baptist Church. It moved to its current location when Timboon and District Healthcare Service bought a block of land and offered it to the Timboon Men’s Shed to build a shed to continue its important mission for men’s health and wellbeing.Tom Hose has been a member from the beginning. “Timboon Men’s Shed runs independently from the healthcare service, but it still supports us in many ways, especially financially, by paying the rates, water and maintenance,” he said.Please read more on our website. ...

THUNDERSTORM ASTHMA SEASON is here!Typically running from the start of October until the end of December, grass pollen season brings a seasonal increase in asthma and hay fever – and the chance of epidemic thunderstorm asthma.Thunderstorm asthma events are thought to be triggered by an unusual mix of high levels of grass pollen and a certain type of thunderstorm. During these storms tiny pollen grains from grasses can be swept up in the wind and carried long distances. When exposed to this air, the tiny particles of pollen are inhaled deep into your lungs, triggering an asthma flare-up or attack. To reduce the risk of thunderstorm asthma when it is a known trigger, it is best to have good asthma management year-round and to update or create an asthma action plan (Please see National Asthma Council Australia Asthma Plan attached to this post) or hay fever treatment plan to prepare for the season.Please read more on our website: www.timboonhealthcare.com.au/ ...

DEMENTIA AND YOUR CARING ROLE WORKSHOPThis week TDHS hosted Jason Kelly from Dementia Australia to present the first of a 4 part series of workshops called “Dementia and your caring role”. 8 participants attended and shared their own personal stories of being touched by Dementia in a caring role and were given a wealth of information about Dementia and the many different types/names/terms that sit under the Dementia umbrella. Many participants resonated with stories told and information presented to them and are looking forward to returning next Wednesday to Part 2 of the 4 workshops.

A reminder to everyone around the world to take care of their hearts. This year’s campaign focuses on the essential step of knowing our hearts first. TDHS Meals on Wheels volunteers have already experienced Adrian Till’s generous heart as he has donated chocolate at Easter and Christmas times.“I’ve been getting Meals on Wheels for 2 years now and the TDHS volunteers that deliver them go out of their way to give me my meal and it’s always with a friendly chat and smile and that means a lot to me,” Adrian said.Adrian also enjoys his regular visits with his mate John Wilson, who is a permanent resident at TDHS, and who he has known for almost 60 years. “I love catching up with John, either over the phone or in person, as we have been mates for a long time and we talk about anything,” he said.During one of these visits, Adrian decided to donate money to TDHS to purchase two defibrillators.Please read more about Adrian’s generosity on our website.❤️ ...
