Formerly the Dunoon Men's Shed, we have now become the Dunoon Community Shed and membership is now open to all men and women.
Our organisation’s purposes are:
Education – through the sharing of skills and interests, swapping ideas and passing on knowledge in an informal setting.
Advancement of Health - improve the health and wellbeing of, older members through the promotion of activities and social interaction supported by the shed.
Advancement of citizenship – through working on projects that will engage and aid the community, have a positive sense of achievement for members and enhance the environment of communities for the benefit of all.
To create a communal place where people, primarily older members, can get together to socialise, discuss issues, raise concerns, have a laugh and make friends, aiding self-esteem, confidence and the fight against social isolation and loneliness.
We carry out projects for the local community and assist anyone we can who needs help from our shed.
We have:
* Supplied owl boxes for the local Raptor club.
* Supplied and maintain the beautiful hanging baskets on the main thoroughfare of Dunoon from spring to autumn.
* Repaired many local community benches.
* Offer a repair service to the community for: gardening equipment, small household appliances and furniture.
