The Aberchirder and District Men Shed is non profit making. It provides a safe space where members can meet and socialise in a friendly environment. Work on meaningful projects at their own pace and in their own time in the company of other men. The major objective is to advance the health and well being of the membership. The shed promotes an open door policy and conduct themselves in a non-discriminating manner. We ensure and observe safe work practices and aim to improve the wellbeing of all men and support the community.
