House of Commons – Sept. 1, 2025

That this House congratulates St Andrews Men’s Shed for being named the East Coast (North) regional winner in the Scottish Men’s Shed of the Year Awards 2025; recognises the remarkable achievement of transforming a once-empty site at Craigtoun Country Park into a vibrant, purpose-built community hub, featuring a fully functional workshop, social spaces, accessible facilities, gardens, and a developing orchard, all driven by the dedication of its members and the support of the wider local community; praises the tremendous spirit, perseverance, and vision demonstrated over two years to secure planning approval and deliver this facility; applauds partners including Morrison Construction, Henderson Fabrication, and Scott Wallace Homes, and the volunteer contributions that brought this project to life; acknowledges that this regional milestone now positions St Andrews Men’s Shed among the top finalists in the national contest, to be decided by SMSA members ahead of the national award ceremony on 3 October; and celebrates the Shed’s role in promoting men’s health and well-being, fostering community, and supporting future generations in Fife.
