These have included, wtth an emphasis on the ecology, We supported the Royal British Legion -BattlebacK project by providing a team at their events to extol the benefits of a °Men's Shed" in alleviating loneliness and social isolation which many ex-servicemen can experienc£ when discharged from military servi. We constructed and installed a new Shed for a local allotment society to benefit their older members. We constructed a number of raised beds and planters forthree of our local primary and nursery schools to enable them to teach the Pagelof7
young children gardening and the importance of biodiverstty. We constructed Bat boxes. Bird Boxes, Bee and Bug hotels, planters and raised beds for several local communty groups and individuals We provided volunteers for the Telfoid Repair Café, repairing items from the public which would otherwise go to waste and thus protecting the environment for the public benefrt. We continued to maintain our walled garden producing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables for the benefrt of our member5 and the local community. Gardening is a great activity for our men's heallh, both physical and mental, and contributes greatly to our main purpose of encouraging social interaction, alleviating loneliness and social isolation.

Summary ofthe main achievements of the chanty, identifying the difference the harity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society. Para During 2025, new members joining and members leaving remained broadly neutral meaning our membership numbers were steady at around 30 which is at, or near, our complement, given our limited resources in temis of Spa and facilities. Our total °contact- time in 2025 at 7.500 hours was similar to our Gontact time in 2024. Research commissioned by the UK Men's Shed Association has shown a direct benefft to shed members who have reported feeling much less lonely sin joining the shed. Social interaction, staying active, leaming new skills and contribLrting lo the communty are beneficial to mental health and wellbeing. 1.20 Additional inforniation (optional) You ma Ghoose to include further ststements where relevant aboLrt: Achievements against objectives set Para 1.41 Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Pata 1.41 Investment perfomian against objectives Para 1.41 Other Page 3of7
