New Trustees may be appointed by existing Trustees to serve until the

Februa
Additional governance issues {Optional infomiation)
To date all Trustees have been co-opted by existing Trustees and
appointed from the Membership and no specific training or induction has
been necessary.
The CIO is managed by the Trustees who meet quarterly. Members are
consulted on nearly all management issues but the more significant
decisions (strategic, govemance, financial etc) are taken in formal Trustee
meetings.
Informal working groups of Members are formed from time to time to
discuss and develop plans and proposals and less significant decisions
are taken in these Working Groups or in the weekly meetings open to all
Members. More significant decisions are referred to formal Trustee
meetings.
Arrangements are in place for individuals to apply for Membership and
rules for Members and policies for all relevant issues are in place and
subject to regular review.
The activities of the CIO are covered by appropriate insurance.
You may choose to include
additional information, where
relevant. about:
policies and procedures
adopted for the induction and
training of trustees.
the charity's organisational
structure and any wider
network with which the charity
works:
relationship with any related
parties.
trustees, consideration of
major risks and the system
and procedures to manage
them.
Section C
Ob"ectives and activities
The objects of the CIO are to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by
preventing men aged 18 or over, within Romsey and the surrounding area,
from becoming socially excluded. meeting the needs of those people who are
socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through the
provision of facilities in which they can meet to undertake creative, physical or
recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge and support
each other socially.
Summary of the objects of
the charity set out in its
governing document
TAR
March 2012

In addition to these regular events the Members undertake many practical
community projects by repairing items and making things such as mud
kitchens or planters for local schools and other community organisations. The
requests received can be vary varied. The workshop and social shed built by
the Members in previous years are busy several days each week with
Members working on these tasks or on personal projects. Members
constructed an extended wood storage shelter in 2024. Many craft items are
made and sold to the public when opportunities such as craft fairs arise. A
Repair Shed event operates most months where the public are invited to
bring items for repair or restoration. Members have been able to repair
approx. 85 % of the items brought in. Donations received resulting from
community projects and Repair Shed activity provide a valuable contribution
to the CIO funds.
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)
In addition to all the above there are occasional quizzes, photo competitions,
fishing and skittles events. There is a very healthy level of email and
WhatsApp communication and banter between Members. Members set up
the local relay marathon course each year to assist the Romsey Rotary
groups.
The Trustees have read and understood the Charity Commission guidance
on public benefit and all decisions taken by Trustees in the management of
the CIO have been taken in accordance with that guidance.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
Note:
The practical community projects referred to above are undertaken to assist
local organisations (and on occasion individuals) where there is a clear
community benefit, and where the project would not be undertaken by any
commercial contractor (usually because they are too small to be a viable task
for any contractor). The CIO does not make any charge for undertaking such
projects. However, the beneficiary is required to pay for materials purchased
and make a modest contribution towards the running costs of the CIO and
consumables used from stock. Members work as volunteers in such activity.
Beneficiaries do however often make a donation to CIO funds.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Trustees believe that the CIO continues to be a well-known and well-
respected organisation within the Romsey area and that it is managed
and run in a professional and competent manner. Membership is
buoyant and averages around 70, with 1 or 2 new enquiries per month.
There is the possibility that it may become ne￿SSary at some point in the
future to limit Membership should the pressure on facilities at the
workshop and social shed become too great.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The main achievement of the year has been the way the CIO has
continued to thrive and develop. Membership is strong, finances are
healthy, and Members are taking a much greater role in proposing,
organising and managing activities. This has enabled the CIO to expand
the activities available as a mature and more rounded organisation.

Section E
Financial review
The CIO has formally declared a reserve of £2000 to meet any
completely unforeseen expenses. The reserve is however held in the
main CIO bank account together with the working funds and is not held in
a separate account. Care is taken to accumulate sufficient working funds
at the end of the year to cover all anticipated running costs during the
following financial year without having to use the £2.000 reserve.
Trustees will consider whether there is a need to take steps to increase
the reserve in future
ears.

In general. the running costs of the CIO are covered by Member
subscriptions, occasional grants and donations from various sources,

relevant about:
the charity's principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising).
how expenditure has

objectives including any
