SUMMARY:Dalbeattie Men's Shed
DESCRIPTION:Dalbeattie Men’s Shed (DMS) is a free to attend place where men can spend time tinkering\, repairing and making things while socialising with others who have similar interests. A larger version of the typical man’s shed in the garden – a place for men to feel at home and pursue practical interests with a high degree of autonomy. The Shed is open Monday and Thursday morning for men to work at their own pace in a safe\, friendly and inclusive venue. DMS exists to provide facilities where men from Dalbeattie and surrounding area can meet to socialise\, and work with tools and equipment in a workshop environment. \nMembership is currently closed. but applications to join the waiting list are accepted from men in the Dalbeattie area:  targeted at those who live alone\, are lonely\, are disconnected from society\, or have handicraft aspirations but lack the necessary inspiration\, tools and equipment. Retirees\, Veterans and Carers needing constructive respite are prime candidates. Activities undertaken by the Shedders support the wider community and other charitable bodies by taking on DIY activities and make and mend projects\, chosen to meet the skills and needs of the members (for example refurbishing the Christmas Lanterns). \nBoth the meeting and workshop areas of the shed have been shown to improve the health and wellbeing of the Shedders\, by providing a social focus and a friendly working environment where they can participate in activities of interest to them\, and increase their social circle and craft skills.  \nPlease note: Although every effort is made to ensure that the information given in this website is correct and up to date\, the Initiative cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions. Please report these directly to the organisation / event contact. \n
