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'

The principal purpose for the Men's Shed is to provide an option for the men in our area to meet with other men for the purpose of companionship and to share experiences and knowledge. There is no strong expectation placed on anyone and people can get as much or as little from the experience as they wish. We provide workshop facilities to have a less formal environment for the meetings but these also give a financial support as we are able to raise our funding to allow us to support our group. We have no external grant funding and are wholly self reliant. In parallel we provide a support to other members of our community - schools, nurseries, other charities and individuals (often elderly)

Beneficiaries: 'Older People','People with disabilities or health problems','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community','Other charities or voluntary bodies'

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 Broughty Ferry and surrounding areas By: a) Creating, developing and maintaining a facility, namely a Men's Shed. b) Offering opportunities for men in the Broughty Ferry 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 Broughty Ferry area to share their skills and knowledge with others in the community.
