**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
The Trustees in conjunction with the Management Committee took the decision to temporarily close the Shed with effect from 22 March 2020. This decision was taken, ahead of the government mandate related to Covid 19, in the light of the particular risk posed to our many older members and those with health conditions, together with the need to minimise the spread of the disease in the community. During the first closure period the Shed’s Makerspace group co-ordinated a huge 3D printing effort to produce protective visors for health and care workers in Milton Keynes. This was made possible by a £1600 grant from the Milton Keynes Community Foundation for the purchase of materials, and over 3000 visors were produced by members working in their own homes. Since re-opening the Shed has undertaken a number of construction projects in support of local schools and other volunteer groups.
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
The primary source of funds is regular donations by members and occasional donations by supporters and beneficiaries of the Shed’s work. All expenditure directed to proving the accommodation and facilities in support of the charity’s objectives.
Despite temporary closure of the Shed due to Covid 19, the Shed was still liable for considerable expenses in maintaining its accommodation. The continued donations during this period by its members saw its finances remained buoyant, and the bank balance continues to be healthy.
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
