That the Parliament congratulates the Scottish Men’s Shed Association on being shortlisted in the Community Led Regeneration category of the 2025 SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration; notes that the association is the national charity supporting Scotland’s network of community-led Men’s Sheds, which transform underutilised buildings into hubs where men can share skills, build friendships and contribute locally; recognises the vital role of local groups in delivering these benefits to Aberdeenshire communities and beyond, and wishes all involved continued success in promoting regeneration across Scotland.
