Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of health','the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended'

We achieve this two mornings a week in Units 8&9 of Castle Works, Edingham where our members can meet and work at their own pace in safe, friendly and inclusive work areas using the Shed’s tools and equipment. The principal activities revolve around make and mend projects for local schools, churches, charities and communities, along with larger more complex projects from further afield where our expertise has attracted commissions. We also have a special project where we recreated and exhibit a Skeoch Cycle Car originally made in Dalbeattie in 1920/21, it is funded separately from all other Shed projects owing to its size and complexity. The camaraderie which develops between members working shoulder to shoulder in one of our five workshops is nurtured and extended by all attending members taking a refreshment break together midway through each session to resolve any issues arising and plan forward projects & community involvement.

Objectives: The organisation's purpose is: 4.1 The advancement of health by addressing the social, health and well-being needs of men of all ages and backgrounds living in Dalbeattie and the surrounding area. We will do this through the creation, upkeep and development of facilities in which men can meet to undertake creative physical and recreational activities of their choice.
