The primary source of funds is regular donations by members and occasional donations by supporters and beneficiaries of the Shed’s work. All expenditure is directed to improving the accommodation and facilities in support of the charity’s objectives. 

The bank balance continues to be healthy but we have been fortunate in attracting a number of new donating members and in having an energy account that is fixed until April 2023. We expect increased energy costs in 2023 to have a significant adverse effect on our finances and ways of mitigating this are currently being addressed by the trustees.
