What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Forth Valley Men’s Shed provides a safe, inclusive space where men can connect, combat social isolation, and improve their wellbeing. We offer opportunities for members to engage in creative, physical, and purposeful activities at their own pace, fostering friendships and a sense of purpose. Our Shed encourages peer support, where members share skills, learn from one another, and work on woodworking, metalwork, and DIY projects. We collaborate with local organisations, including Clackmannanshire Council’s Community Learning Department, to engage with the wider community, including school pupils. We also participate in local markets, showcasing members' crafts. Sustainability is key, and we seek funding to cover rent, utilities, and essential equipment to keep the Shed accessible and welcoming for all. Through connection, creativity, and shared learning, we strive to enhance lives and strengthen our community.

No charity trustee information available
From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
