We would like to share some very sad news. Jim Myles, one of our founding members and our Treasurer for several years, collapsed whilst in church on Sunday and could not be resuscitated. He had been unwell for some time.
Jim was the nicest man and always there to help, as well as being a conscientious and reliable Treasurer when with us. He and his wife Brenda recently moved to Bridge of Earn and little did anyone know how short his time would be in their new house.
We conferred upon him our first Honorary Lifetime Membership at last year's Members' AGM.

This is a great community resource. Note basket charge is now £3, not £2.50. But still amazing value and preventing food waste.

Thank you very much Carnegie Dunfermline Trust for your generous donation.

📢 We're delighted to have supported Men's Shed with a £1,500 Community Grant to help improve the sustainability and safety of their workshop facilities. The project has funded new fire-rated doors, a community defibrillator and CPR training, benefiting members and the wider community. A fantastic example of local people coming together to build skills, connections and resilience. ❤

More doors! Our workshop have finished and fitted the replacements for our middle workshop doors. The old doors are on the ground, headed for the tip! There is one old door (on the left in the first picture) still to be replaced and work on that is ongoing. All this amongst work on refurbishing benches and hand rails, plus building hedgehog and bird boxes and library boxes. We have a busy workshop - well done, guys!

We’d like to thank the Scottish Men’s Shed Association for the recent visit and workshop focusing on men’s health.

SMSA delivered a Shed-Wise workshop at Dunfermline Men's Shed. The group discussed what the Shed is already doing and would like to do to promote health and wellbeing. Participants identified changes they could make to enable Shedders to maintain a healthy lifestyle and access information and support about for example Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) screening, prostate cancer and heart health 👍 https://scottishmsa.org.uk/shedwise
