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.

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.

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
SoUr￿S of funds (including
any fundraising).

of the charity.

objectives including any
