Assist
We are here to assist you with any questions or challenges you will face along the journey of creating or participating in your Men’s Shed. We know because we have mostly already faced them in creating our own local Sheds all across Scotland. Without you being successful we don’t have a thriving grass roots driven Scottish Men’s Sheds Movement.

We welcome everybody irrespective of gender, religious beliefs or political views etc who would see this being successful and would like to be involved in making it so all across Scotland. Join today!
