				Achievements against our objectives:
				1.	As previously stated we provide a premises/
					workshop space where older people meet up
					to five times a week and engage in
					woodworking and other activities. We
					undertake small personal projects or other
					larger projects for local groups and charities.
					Some ofthe items are sold to raise funds for
					the charity. The group has up to43
					members at present who can meet up to
					meet five times a week. Anecdotal evidence
					we have gathered from within the group
					shows our members benefit from the social
					activity and interactions with others. Some
					members ofthe group have formed firm
					friendships and meet outside the times ofthe
					formal group and some regularly meet on a
					weekly on-line ZOOM meeting.
				2.	Some ofour membership have been
					professional trades people, some are
					experienced in DIY and they share their
					knowledge and experience with others in the
				3.	group. We have been particularly successful
					developing relationships with other charities
					and groups. We are now established in our
					workshop within a community hub operated
					by the Strafford Town Trust. We have, in
					return for rent free accommodation
					undertaken small projects, such as providing
					shelving, notice boards etc. within the
					building for the Trust and other charities
					based in the building. However, From June
					2021 we have had to contribute to the
					running costs ofthe accommodation. We
					have in the past, in co-operation with the
					Shakespeare Lions, constructed a Santa's
					sleigh for their Christmas charity collections.
					and undertaken maintenance projects on this
					Santa's sleigh. We also this year have formed
					a mutually beneficial relationship with
					Compton Verney Art Gallery.
				4.	The Mens Shed's, home in a Charity Hub
					created by the Strafford Town Trust provides
					the security which we need for the future,
					although we will now have to make a financial
					contribution to the running costs.
				5.	There was no shed activity between January
					2021 and June 2021due to Covid-19
					restrictions. This resulted in reduced income
					from sale ofgoods. Membership fees were
					waived until the beginning of2022 when
					there would be more information on the
					returning numbers to the shed, following
					Covid19 lockdowns and fees could be better
					determined to help meet the contributions
					now required by our landlords. Current funds
					allow for this but the subject offuture
					fundraising will be addressed during the new
					year.
