PROUD SUPPORTERS AT GLENKENS MENS SHED
Glenkens Men’s Shed signed up to the Biosphere Charter and helped us reach a milestone by becoming the 100th Proud Supporter of the Biosphere.
Based in a building loaned to the group by the owner, the former Smiddy in Balmaclellan has been transformed into a series of well-equipped workshops which have already generated interest from men and women who wish to get practical. It is a place of leisure where people come together to share skills and the activities already range from porridge spurtles to repairing a boat, building a chair to creating a life-size gorilla – the only restriction seems to be your imagination.
Brian Jones is delighted to have signed the Biosphere Charter and said ‘our men’s shed is a place which contributes to many of the Biosphere principles. It provides a knowledge hub which recycles tools and materials as well as contributing to the wellbeing of the community. Using local resources we are exploring the potential to become a Social Enterprise which will help support the local economy.’
