‘The Cook Up’ provides a safe social gathering space for men to create connections with each other and access services and support.

🔥 Come Join Us at The Cook Up

📍 Shepherds Bay Community Centre

Looking for a relaxed space to meet other blokes, share a meal, and pick up a few practical life skills? The Cook Up is for you.

This monthly catch-up is all about bringing men together — whether it’s to have a yarn, learn how to whip up a solid feed, or just hang out in good company.

Why You’ll Want to Come Along:

Make real connections with other local men

Learn simple, cost-effective meals you can cook at home

Pick up life skills to stay independent and confident

Chat about real stuff — the kind of conversations men don’t always have, but sometimes need to

Find out what supports and services are out there (no pressure, just info if you want it)

This is a no-judgement space where it’s all about mateship, community, and having each other's backs.

Come for the feed. Stay for the connection. Leave with something useful.
