Livingston Community Shed was started in 2022 to give people aged 18 and over a place to socialise, meet new friends, share experiences and contribute to the communities within Livingston.

As a member organisation of the Scottish Men’s Shed Association, our aim is to improve mental well-being, reduce isolation and improve the health of our members.

Members are from various work backgrounds, life experience and skills.

Meeting each Monday and Friday morning (10am) at The Barn Community Cafe, Carmondean Community Centre, Nether Dechmont, Livingston EH54 8AX
Tuesday and Thursday, you can find us in the garden behind the South barn, opposite the (closed cafe)

We are a friendly bunch with hearts in our communities, so come and meet us!

Tackling many and various community projects, including the upkeep of community gardens, furniture  repair and refurbishment, including benches.


Some of our more green fingered members have offered their services to assist in tidying some other less neglected public gardens in the town whilst others are into woodworking with the shed's lathe, table saws, bench drill, sanders, etc.

We have a wide variety of equipment and expertise to use and train on the various tools available.
