Public benefli StoreroDm2010 is a true comrnunty asset Through the dedication and perseverance of its stèf¥, volunteers, and management over the past fifteen years, it hÈ5 become a trusted and reliable destination for people on low Incomes seeking to improve their home IMD8 Standards withDUt falling into or compoundin8 debt. During 2Q25, demand for t>ur services increased. with a rise in ￿ferra15 from Island 5UPPOrt a8enaes and housing a*oci3b'ons. We were plE￿£d to be able to ￿Spond prornpt￿ and provide a￿￿tance when It was rnost needed, The continuing cost-ol-living crisis has hit many in our 15Jand ci)mrnunity hard. and the people we supportEd were deoply appreoative of the help they recesved.

STOREROOM 2010 (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07488966} REPORTOFTHETRUStEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 310ECEMBER 202S OBJEcfivES AND ACTivmES VolunteÈts- continued The Board of Trustees extends its sincer& thanks to our Entire volunteer team, wthout whose hard work and tire1È%5 support5torero¢m2010 would have struggled to provide such a vitd level ol service lo our community. ACbllEVEMENT5 AND PERFORMANCE Past achievÈments and the effect Qf Covld-19 Since Storeroom2010'5 beginnings at Bridge Road in Cowes back in, yes you guessed it. 2010, we hzve adopted a slightly dTfferent approach to rnany other charities,. brought about in part due to lessons learnt prior to 2010 when the StO￿rOOr￿ Project las St wa5 called when part of Real World Trust), relied solely upon grant funding to operate. Thi% reated uncertainty as to the sustainable ful￿re of the projert. espeaalFy wth the onset of Governmènt Busterity measures at the tirTte. A lack of suitable funding opportunitie5 eventually forced the decision by Real World TrJJ5t to dose the doors on thE Storeroom project. The then Manager and longstanding staff member, unwilling to accept this, felt Storeroom could be saved, but decided a more business-like approath was needed and having reached an ogreement with the board of R.W.T to tèke ower the rein5. made cost covering the priority. To help achieve this goal we increased our opening hours and opened the doors to the publicwithout restriction. A two-tTer pricing poliry was introdu￿d, one for the publlc and th& other for ￿ferred dients. It was uncertain whether thls would provide the answer, however within six months we had achieved our first goal and were meeting Most of our running costs. on￿thiS fInantial milestone was athieved, we were able to begin plannin8. One areè where we wtrÈ lackin8 knowledge was in fundrdising, so a decision was made to enlist the seNices of a prOf￿0n31 fundraising or8a¢7satiDn to train our managerial stèff in the art of fund￿l51n8. Thls wa5 an expensive gamble and ? steep learnlng curve, however ￿￿thin just a few month5 we had secured several potential funde￿, these would eventually enable usto expand ourseNites and help to Secu￿ the future of this much nEed£d community ?5set. Thank5 to the support of the general public and wlth the help of some grant monies acquired, we were able to takÈ positive step5 year on year. In June 2013 we moved intu n2weT. more suitable rented premis85 with customer p3rkin& heat and running water (absolute luxuryll. We were able to upgrade to more reliable ar)d respectable looking vans for our CDllectlDns anij dèliveries, provide relevant on-site training for our staff and volunteers, and to Introdu￿ better pointof sale equiprnÈnt a till capable of apptyinB G￿[tAId ett, et Another move towards fijture prcofing Storeroom, was to enlbt the seNice5 of SASC Istrcial & s￿taInable Capitsll who were keen tD a55iSt, they provided lending to purthase our premises and gave us a huge amount of help and support towards securing necessary deposit monies from Power to Change. This enabled the purchase of our premises, helping to secure our long-term future within the lool community. Under the adm￿ of our accountsnts, we have worked hard to build sustainable rEserves to meet fvture running costs which we ar2 battlin8 t¢ m31ntain at present, them hailng been dcpleted when the intrtsducknon of new minlmum lfving wage and national insu￿n￿ hikes tDok hold. ynfortun3tely this will likely cause COn￿M again sn 2026 and we are un5UTe whetherwe will be able to malntsin those reserves in the shorttEmi, Any 5vrplus monies that are available these wlll be re-directed towards the upkeep of our very su￿sSful Community prolert The Cowes Men's Shed, which was established in May 2018.

In March 2024 we were able, with the help in part of sornÈ fundin& to fulfil a long-time ambition to erECt permanent glasshouses at the Men's Shed, this gives our horticulturally inclined members the opportunity to keep their hand In whi15t increa5in8 the potential lor plant sales in comin8 years and hopefulW create addititsnal fund5 towards our runnin8 costs. A complete ovèrhaul ol our burglar alarm system and the introduction of new CCTV coversn8 all are&% ol both Storeroorn2010 and the Cowes f41en's Shed has also been achieved. In 2025. for the ftrst time since Storeroom2020's conceptlon we were forced to ltsok for way5 to reduce our al￿a￿V meagre outgoings and try to protect our ￿se￿e5. Unfortunatelyi our staff bo￿ the brunt of thls, and hours had to be fe-structured in orderto reduce our wage blll. We were hesitant to put our priTrs up whilst so many people siruggle to make ends meel. We already run a tl8ht sh+p, so this was necessary to oftset the jump in wage5 tax and Nl. Therefo￿ during 2025 there were no achievements this wa5 our maln goal. Cowe5 Men's Shed project Reg3rding the Cowes Men's Shed, our aim ha5 been to make best Use of the facility in order to generate lynds towards the lon8-term continuation ol the projett. Raising plants from seed and propagating cuttin8s for sale In our new glasshouse5 will be a vast imprcvement and we hope to in¢￿aSe sales siEnificantly. Some member5 fabricate woodpn planters, bird tsbles. feeders and garden ornaments, ¥ well as c<caslonally refurbishing plece5 of furniture, whlth also provides a welcome boost to the Shed running costs. We continually pursue funding to help cover staff wages in order to maintain a nominal level of service, and to date the cost has proved to be man3geable. The shed offered a safe 53nrtuary to members durins Covid lockdowns some expressed extreme loneliness isolation, but desp￿te thi5 we have been able to attract nèw member5 currently almost 3t 200.
