Even on a cold and frosty January morning there is still a buzz at the small industrial unit where the members of Forth Valley Men’s Shed meet for one of their regular meet-ups.
The small group of ‘shedders’ in attendance are scattered all over the place, some sweating away at woodworking or other projects while others enjoy sharing jokes and banter over a cup of tea in the social room.
The Alloa-based organisation, which welcomes members from all over the region including in Stirling, offers a vital sanctuary for men to be able to open up, make friends and find a fresh focus at a time when men’s mental health is a hot-button topic.
