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.
