We’re pleased to announce that the Scottish Men’s Shed Association (SMSA) will be running an ‘MOT for Men’ session at the Shed on Tuesday, October 29th, starting at 10:30 AM. This health-focused session is designed to help men in our community gain valuable insights into prioritizing their health.
Why Attend?
Men’s health statistics reveal a serious need to address male health concerns:
- Men visit their GP half as often as women
- 1 in 5 men will pass away before age 65
- Men are more likely to face mental health struggles, risky behaviors, and higher suicide rates
The MOT4Men program tackles critical health topics, including diabetes, heart disease, blood pressure, cancer (testicular, bowel, prostate, and skin), mental health, smoking, and alcohol use.
What to Expect
The session will break down health risks into themes like:
- Electrics: Managing diabetes risk
- Fuel Additives: Minimizing alcohol impact
- Spark Plugs: Testicular checks
- Timing Belt: Prostate cancer awareness
And more.
We encourage all members to attend. It’s an ideal opportunity to prioritize your health and learn easy ways to support your well-being. See you on October 29th!
