Applications are now closed for the sixth year of the SMSA ‘Scottish Men’s Shed of the Year’ Awards.
The SMSA’s awards programme exists to recognise, reward and promote the contribution Men’s Sheds make to our communities across Scotland and the huge life-changing impact that they are having on the people that attend them.
With over 200 Sheds now open or developing across all 32 local authority areas, these awards celebrate and showcase the connections and camaraderie taking place to benefit men’s health and wellbeing by combatting social isolation, loneliness and boredom.
All submissions will be ‘blind’ judged by the SMSA Board—meaning that all references to places, areas, partners, names etc have been removed by the SMSA team beforehand to ensure unbiased decisions and scoring by the SMSA Trustees.
Three shortlisted Sheds will then be announced at the end of August and open to a public vote for three weeks before the winner is revealed at the SMSA awards event, AGM and Shed gathering to mark the SMSA’s 10th Anniversary on Friday 4th October 2024 in Perth.
