Kerrie Luff, the founder of the community group, said on Monday morning they discovered the outside section had been damaged. 

“There were broken chairs, broken bikes, bins were thrown around and pallets just thrown everywhere,” she said.

“The gazebos were destroyed and they snapped the metal poles and ripped the roofs off.

“They might not seem expensive, but they were our shade and we need them.” 

Ms Luff said they were counting their blessings that the main shed had not been broken into. 

“When we realised, we just felt disappointed,” she said.

“Everything we have got here has been given to us, it’s not like we have the money to throw around. 

“If something gets damaged it gets taken out of the funds that we would spend on people for the shed such as the workshops.” 

Late last year, Ms Luff said a similar thing had happened, but nowhere near to the same extent.

“We are a community organisation and everything we do is for the community,” she said. 

“They are destroying stuff that everyone has given to us so it is just frustrating.” 

When Ms Luff started the Wagga Women’s Shed, it was for women needed a safe place to learn and make new friends. 

“When they know what has happened, there might be a niggling feeling in the back of their head thinking ‘I hope there is no one down there today’,” she said. “A lot of people though have come out in support of us.” 

 Ms Luff said for anyone who knows something, please speak up as it just seemed “senseless” for their yard to be trashed.

“Ring the police or even ring us so we can get the police involved,” she said.

“It is hard because people can’t see the back of the property unless they’re on the cycle track.”

Ms Luff said what has happened won’t stop them and the Wagga Women’s Shed is always looking for new members or for people to donate their time teaching their skills in workshops. 

“Just pop on down to 60 Beckwith Street and see what we are about,” she said.

“I started the shed about 18 months ago. 

“It has been going really well with lots of members and a great variety in our workshops.”

Ms Luff said anyone who is interested in being on the committee should raise their hand. For anyone looking to donate items such as gazebos contact 0403 875 590 or jump onto their Facebook page.
