More health checks for men

An old caravan will help men across the state after receiving a makeover in Dandenong.
Envision Employment Services staff and Work for the Dole participants donated the van to the Victorian Men’s Shed Association on Friday 29 July.
The refurbishment has taken six months, and was completed with funding from The Salvation Army Employment Plus, through the Federal Department of Employment.
“The Envision staff and the Work for the Dole participants have been able to produce a beautifully crafted interior designed to engage and provide a facility for training and health checks for men across Melbourne and regional Victoria,” Envision director Sean Teer said.
“This is a great example of a community project that benefits Men’s Shed groups and the wider community.”
