Donation from F4B Networking

Donation from F4B Networking

A group of self-employed business-people covering various disciplines, e.g legal, financial, accounting, marketing, printing, design/website building and management, etc. meet regularly and have called themselves the F4B networking group. They invited Pentlands Men’s Shed to a breakfast meeting at The Dalmahoy in February 2023, where Stewart and Ron gave a presentation on the Shed, and received a donation of £300 from the group. This is very much appreciated and will help us to continue our work to support men’s wellbeing through the work of the Shed.
