Men's Sheds: A conceptual exploration of the causal pathways for health and well‐being
A bit of mouthful for an interim research report (Glasgow Caledonian Uni) into social requirements for and needs for sustainable Men's Sheds. Useful for Shedders, researchers, community development workers etc and all interested in Sheds.
Useful for business plans and funding applications. A .pdf link is included in title, above.
3rd - Monday T IN THE SHED by Matt Dunn
The play about 'Scottish Men's Sheds so far...' Written by Matt with 50+ Shedders from six Sheds; St Andrews, Galashiels, Glenrothes, Leith, Barrhead and Stonehouse.
This timely work references the total loss of community and the universal path men must walk in life. So, what are Men's Sheds and why they so important? A funny, challenging and most importantly, truthful account of the journey of men in Scottish Men's Sheds so far.
