MSPs demand government U-Turn after cuts to Scottish Men's Shed movement

More than three dozen MSPs have written to Scotland's Deputy First Minister, John Swinney, calling for a complete U-Turn on the government's decision to cut funding for the Scottish Men's Sheds.

The Men's Sheds, which have various branches across Glasgow, have been providing support and comfort to men since it came to Scotland in 2015.

They were initially given £75,000 and started with two sheds in Scotland. Over the years they received more funding but each year the funding decreased before a decision was made to cut it completely, according to the CEO of Men's Sheds, Jason Schroeder.
