Section B Structure, overnance and mana ement Description of the charity's trusts Constitution document (based on the Charity Commission standard model for CIOS) agreed with the Charity Commission upon registration on 616116. No subse uent amendments. cio Type of governing document How the charity is constituted Trustee selection methods New Trustees may be appointed by existing Trustees to serve until the next AGM at which point they retire. New Trustees (or Trustees standing for re-election) may be elected by Members at the AGM held each Februa Additional governance issues (Optional information) 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 Ihe 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 nebNork 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 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, 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 a new workshop to replace an existing woodshed during 2025. This will be completed in the first few months of 2026. 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. Weekly meetings are held for members to share views, listen to talks from guest speakers and enjoy games. They also participate in monthly business meetings, where review of activities and planning for future projects and activities take pla. Also, 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. They also offer games for young children at the annual Mayor's Picnic held in the Romsey Memorial Park. 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 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. You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about: policy on grant making. policy programme related investment. contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year 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 necessary at some point in the future to limit Membership should the pressure on facilities at the workshop and social shed become too great. 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. TAR March 2012
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. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit Not applicable. Further financial revlew details (Optional information) In general, the running costs of the CIO are covered by Member subscriptions, occasional grants and donations from various sources, donations in return for community projects and Repair Shed activity etc. You may choose to include additional information. where relevant about: the charity's principal SoUrS of funds (including any fundraising). how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity. investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. The CIO is in a healthy financial position at the end of the year. Section F Other optional information Section G Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
