A new Community Shed is opening its doors this weekend at a special drop-in event on Sunday, June 22nd.

The Community Shed, which is based in one of the buildings at the Scottish Outdoor Education Centres'Belmont Centre between the villages of Meigle and Ardler, will be open from 11am until 3pm.

Anyone who is interested in finding out more about the new facility, which is being run by volunteers from Meigle and Ardler Community Development Trust (MACDT), is invited to come along.

The idea for a Community Shed in the east Perthshire village first came about during the covid lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.

Chair of MACDT, Ali Napier, explained: “During the covid lockdowns, a need for a space where people could get together and share ideas, knowledge, stories and skills-reducing social isolation and improving wellbeing-was identified.
