What is a Men`s Shed?

A Men`s Shed is a local non profit organisation that provides space for craft work, gardening and social interaction. The main aim of a Men`s Shed is to improve the health and wellbeing of older men, however, the sheds are now becoming more popular with younger men.

The Larbert & Stenhousemuir shed will provide a place for all men to come together to share their skills & stories, or whatever else they wants to bring. We will offer a place that they can call their own and tea & coffee will always be available. 

We are a friendly bunch where everyone will be made to feel very welcome and part of the group.

Why do we need a Men`s Shed?

It is a well known fact that men find it much more difficult to open up about their issues than a woman does. A Men`s Shed allows men to come together and share a common activity with other men, this allows them to build a confidence, meaning that they will find it much easier to open up about their feelings. 
A recent poll by The Priory showed that: -
  • 77% of men polled have shown signs of mental health / depression
  • 40% have learned to deal with their issues
  • 36% dont want to burden anyone with their issues
  • 29% are too embarrassed
  • 20% feel that there is negative stigma around mental health
  • 17% do not want to admit that they need support
  • 16% do not want to appear weak
  • 14% have no one to talk to
