Clydebank Men’s Shed will celebrate its tenth anniversary with an
open day on the 5th of August 2026.  
The Men’s Shed was established in 2016, and is marking ten years
of supporting men in Clydebank and beyond. 
Clydebank Men’s Sheds plays an important role as community hub
where men connect through shared activities, foster solidarity, and
form lasting friendships. 
Over the last decade, it has been vital to help to tackle isolation and
support mental health and wellbeing.

Clydebank Men's Shed has had on men’s health and wellbeing over
the past ten years, and we recognise the work of all those involved
and wish them continued success over the coming years.
