The COSLA Excellence Awards celebrate the very best in Scottish local government. Their emphasis is on rewarding the most innovative and passionate developments, and on recognising projects that are changing lives. The 18 finalists will meet at the 2014 awards ceremony next Thursday 13th March. Westhill Men’s Shed is shortlisted under the “Achieving Better Outcomes” category going head-to-head with Glasgow City Council and Angus Council projects.
Men’s Sheds grew from the idea that men like spending time tinkering, repairing, and making things while socialising with others who have similar interests. Many too are interested in working on projects that will aid the community and be of use to other people. The Men shed idea started in Australia and has flourished there but the Westhill group started the first Men’s Shed in Scotland.
