Promoting well-being for men and supporting our community
Health and Safety are vital aspects of running a successful Shed, and we also recognise our Environmental responsibilities too. To that end we have created a number of documents which will be displayed in the Shed and are also available on the website within the Shed Documents section.

Our Chief Griller, Lyall, arranged a delicious breakfast BBQ on Friday 8 November. Beef Lorne sausage, pork links, and bacon on rolls with tomato and brown sauce were on the menu and the assembled hungry masses consumed large quantities of the hot food, washed down by teas and coffees. A welcome treat on a damp morning!

Pentlands Men’s Shed has an expert BBQer (is that a word?) in the form of our Treasurer, Lyall. We decided to hold a BBQ for all members, their better halves, and a few guests on 12 July 2024, and amazingly, the sun shone for the assembled group.

We have been given the opportunity to make Litter Picking Stations to encourage people to clear up local areas – starting with the Harlaw Reservoir area. This initiative is being proposed and sponsored by our local community policing team. If it is successful we could offer the design to be shared with other Men’s Sheds who may also wish to get involved with such an initiative.

After months of anticipation during the winter months, we finally had a warm dry day on 10 May 2024 for Lyall to fire up the barbeque that we built by recycling a commercial sink unit. It was well worth the wait!

Pentlands Men’s Shed lost a good friend in February 2024 when Scott Greenwood passed away. His partner, Susan, wanted to recognise the enjoyment that Scott had while a member of Pentlands Men’s Shed. She therefore decided to donate to us the money raised in his memory at and around the time of his funeral. This included a charity football match which his footballing friends arranged.
We are quite taken aback at the generosity of Scott’s family and friends, and wish to express our gratitude for the very substantial donation.
Pentlands Men’s Shed wishes to thank all of our supporters, donors, and benefactors, some of whom are listed below.
Following a request for help to tidy up an area of garden and landscaped patio area in the Atrium of Currie Primary School, Pentlands Men’s Shed have stepped up and worked on some of the parts that need attention. A number of the older pupils and their teachers also got involved and all the participants have enjoyed what they have done to improve the area so far.

Chairman Rab’s daughter works at Currie Primary School Nursery, and wondered whether Pentlands Men’s Shed could make a big planter for the Nursery. Of course we could! Rab and Davy built a monster of a planter which has now been installed at the nursery. It had to be moved in 2 separate parts with the final assembly done on site. Well done guys!
