REOPENING GUIDANCE FOR SCOTTISH MEN’S SHEDS (RELEASED MARCH 2021)
On the 26th April 2021, Scotland will return to the levels system. On this date, it is hoped that Men’s Sheds will be able to re-open their doors—in line with SMSA’s ‘Reopening Guidance for Men’s Sheds in Scotland’—if they choose to do so.
SMSA recommends that individual Shed committees now begin to have these discussions on the reopening process (if not already started) as to whether or not your Shed is in a position to open to some extent.
Following consultation, SMSA has now released the revised version of the guidance for Men’s Sheds in Scotland.
