The Scottish Men’s Sheds Association (SMSA) has teamed up with Scotmid to offer Scottish Men’s Sheds a promotional opportunity during Men’s Health Week (13th-19th June 2022) in 35 Scotmid stores.
To kick off Men’s Health Week, these 35 Scotmid stores are offering a full-day exhibition space – to accommodate a 6ft table, banner and up to two Shed representatives – to a local Men’s Shed on Monday 13th June 2022 (9.30am-6.30pm) to raise awareness of the Shed and attract new members. As Scotmid has a ‘Charity of the Year’ partnership in place, Sheds will not have the opportunity to fundraise, however each Shed can display and take orders for their Sheds products on the day.
Lynne Ogg, Scotmid Community Manager (North region), said: “We are delighted to team up with the SMSA to raise awareness of Men’s Sheds and the wealth of benefits these can bring to men’s health and wellbeing. This is the perfect way to mark and celebrate Men’s Health Week in our Scottish stores.”
Jason Schroeder, SMSA Chief Executive Officer, said: “The SMSA is working in partnership with Scotmid to offer this excellent promotional opportunity for Sheds to showcase the services and facilities that they have to offer local men aged 18+. We would encourage the Men’s Sheds local to these participating stores to register their interest fast as spaces will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.”
Register interest (by midnight on Thursday 2nd June 2022) if your Shed is local to one of the participating stores.
