Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'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'

Men's Sheds provide companionship and a sense of purpose for men, many of whom might otherwise become socially isolated. Men's Sheds have become recognised as a major contributor to the improvement of men's health, both physical and mental. The Men's Shed movement recognises the particular challenges which men face from a lack of established social circles once away from the working environment, through retirement, redundancy, discharge from the armed forces, or long-term unemployment. Members regularly meet and have access to a fully equiped workshop.

Objectives: The purpose of the organisation is to provide recreational facilities and advance the social needs, health and well being of men of all ages and backgrounds living in Banchory and surrounding areas By: a) Creating, developing and maintaining a facility, namely a Men's Shed. b) Offering opportunities for men in the Banchory area to meet and undertake creative, physical, purposeful and recreational activities of their choice. c) Reducing isolation of men in the area thus contributing to their physical and mental wellbeing. d) Developing the capacity of men in the Banchory area to share their skills and knowledge with others in the community.
