Our Vision

The SMSA’s sole focus is to grow the Movement in Scotland and promote its life-changing impact and encourage more men to access their local Men’s Shed to connect with their communities and improve their health and wellbeing. 

Our vision is that one day, every man in Scotland will have access to—and the opportunity to attend—their local Men’s Shed if they choose to do so.

To truly transform and commit to a better future for men’s health and wellbeing in Scotland, the SMSA is trailblazing this Movement to encourage a social change, raise awareness of the wealth of diverse benefits of Men’s Sheds and ultimately secure its future growth and the investment it rightly deserves.

The SMSA pledges to continue making a real difference by empowering thousands of men (our sons, brothers, fathers, uncles and grandfathers) and their communities – over the coming years – to play their part in a system change towards a wellbeing economy.
