A vital service providing support for men in Renfrewshire could cease to exist in six months unless the Scottish Government commits to more funding, say the association behind it.
The Scottish Government announced plans last year to cut all funding to the Scottish Men’s Shed Association (SMSA) in 2023, which would have seen their expansion plans scuppered and also posed a threat to existing groups.
But a letter signed by a group of 40 cross-party MSPs was submitted to the First Minister earlier this month calling on her to reverse the government’s decision to cut core funding to the SMSA.
