Mr Logan said: “I’m delighted for everyone involved in the Banff, Macduff and District Men’s Shed on achieving this award for the second year in a row, and in the face of strong competition.

“Very well done to Banff, Macduff and District who have set the bar for other local Men’s Sheds to beat next year.”

The text of the Motion reads: “That this House congratulates Banff, Macduff and District Men’s Shed on winning the ‘Scottish Men’s Shed of the Year’ title for the second consecutive year; notes the award was announced on the tenth anniversary of the Scottish Men’s Shed organisation, the national support hub for over 200 Men’s Sheds; applauds the other finalists, Breadalbane and Maryburgh on their achievements; commends the Banff, Macduff and District Men’s Shed volunteers for the work they are carrying out to improve men’s health and wellbeing and the impact that they are making in their local communities; and wishes them continued success in the future.”
