Gratitude from Men’s Shed

A Men’s Shed group has thanked the area’s community health and wellbeing team for coming to speak to them.

The team, which is based at Drumhar Health Centre in Perth, recently visited Kinross and District Men’s Shed.

Men were able to chat about health issues, and covered a range of topics on their health.

A spokesperson for Kinross and District Men’s Shed said: “A special thanks to Richard Sime, senior community health nurse with the community health and wellbeing team at Drumhar Health Centre, Perth, for visiting the Kinross and District Men’s Shed to individually chat with the shedders about any health issues they may have or just want something clarified or checked.

“Topics covered were prostate, diabetes, memory loss, weight, blood pressure and getting sugar levels checked. Every shedder went home much more informed and with a base line to compare. That is Men’s Sheds doing what they do best.

“Normally most of the guys would run a mile from those checks, never mind chat about them with each other over a cuppa.”

The group said new members are always welcome when they meet every Saturday and Wednesday from 10am until 2pm at the old Forth Wines Unit in the Milnathort Industrial Estate. For more information contact kdms. secretary@outlook.com or 07838869934.
