MALLAIG MENS SHED ANNUAL REPORT 2024/2025
Mallaig Men’s Shed has continued to meet twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, ten until eleven, with work going on other days as necessary. Membership remains steady at ten. Members value the chance to get together and chat as well as, and sometimes more than, practical activities.
Members produced, repaired and refurbished mostly wooden items, in return for donations for our funds. As a result, our funds remain healthy. Beneficiaries of these projects were Mallaig and Morar Community Centre, Mallaig Harbour Authority, Mallaig Nursery, both Mallaig and Arisaig Community Councils, the RNLI and some private individuals.
We were most grateful to receive a grant from Mallaig Harbour Authority and £100 in vouchers from Kennedy Construction, Fort William. We also had a generous donation of wood from BSW sawmills, delivered free of charge by Maclean Deliveries. Donations of tools and equipment have continued to come in and we were also able to purchase a thickness planer.
SMSA development officer, paid us a visit and later arranged a meeting of local Men’s Sheds where we shared a meal. Many of us attended and enjoyed this occasion. Some members continued to support the local lunch club and enjoyed a Christmas meal organised by them.
Looking ahead, we would hope to continue in the same vein but, would love to see more members who could benefit from our meeting as we all do. We are grateful to for helping with our accounts and annual report.
