The Scottish Men’s Sheds Association is a worldwide network dedicated to improving wellbeing of men through the provision of recreational facilities and activities. Although Men's Sheds are aimed at combating social isolation in men, some have opened their doors to all members of the local community and become Community Sheds.

Penicuik Shedders
Penicuik & District Men’s Shed is a place where men can meet together for companionship, friendship, passing on skills or indeed learn some new ones. They can work on community related projects, do their own projects or just have a cup of tea and a biscuit
|
Our Shed is a not-for-profit Charity, registered in Scotland number SC049319, made up by a committee and members.
Operated by the members this gives the incentive to make the Shed a success. There is no one in charge; the members run the charity by committee and all have an equal say. |
So the Shed is a small community within Penicuik and becomes part of the larger social structure, for example, we have undertaken the raised bed planting and garden maintenance at Cowan Court. We took a sales table at the recent Penicuik in the Park parade day, selling various items made by the members, raising funds for our charity.
The men decide what projects they want to do based on the skills they have.
We are currently running our shed in a new parnership arrangement with The Glencorse Centre, 4 Firth Road, Auchendinny, EH26 0QZ
Big thanks to all the people who have donated tools and equipment to help start our shed. We are constantly looking for items like computers, printers, kitchen equipment, wood/pallets and garden tools etc. Also any form of funding or sponsorship.
