## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From: 1 October 2020 Period start date To 30 September 2021 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Burgess Hill Shed** ## **Charity registration number: 1168743** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To further or benefit the residents of
Burgess Hill and the neighbourhood by
associating together the said residents and
the local authorities, voluntary and other
organisations in a common effort to:
Promote social inclusion for the public
benefit by preventing people from
becoming socially excluded, relieving the
needs of those people who are socially
excluded and assisting them to integrate
into society.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The establishment and operation of safe
community places for the people of
Burgess Hill and surrounding areas, to
enable the aims stated above to be
achieved.
Essentially, the community places are craft
workshops which have been organised and
provided with tools and equipment to
enable members of the public to come
together and pursue their own projects,
group projects and community projects.
The charity has been effective in providing
craft activities and enabling inclusive
activities over the current year and has
helped other community organisations.| |Statement confirming

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The
Charities
performance
can
be
measured in several ways and the most
important is achieving the mission.
Achievement can be measured by the
number of people (members) helped; the
level of attendance achieved; the quality of
the benefits to members and their level of
satisfaction.
Achievement can also be measured by
ability to operate in a sustainable way,
potential for growth and value to the
community.
In the period, the Charity leased a
redundant shop in Burgess Hill to enhance
its service. This project was called the Kiln
and required the shop to be reconfigured
for the Charity’s purposes. Work effectively
started in 2020 and continued throughout
2021 to create spaces for a pottery,
sewing and art. By September 21 these
new spaces commenced use and as a
result new members joined.
**Membership**
Throughout the pandemic membership
remained constant. Recently more new
members joined some directly as a result
of the Kiln project. The increase over last
year is approximately 14% and we are
optimistic that membership will continue to
increase as more crafts and sessions are
added. The return to our Burnside
workshop has been relatively slow and we
hope that once restrictions are eased,
more members will return.
Many members have undertaken voluntary work
in the Kiln to help move the project along.
Sometimes this work has been quite demanding,
nonetheless theykeptgoing,stuck to the brief| and have done some amazing work. To run the venture, we estimate that the annual voluntary value is over £75K and since we began, members have contributed a cumulative value of over £375K to the community. The Kiln project when completed, is valued at around £150K in terms of voluntary contribution. For the investment from external sources, BH-Shed provides a significant return when compared to other organisations in the area. This performance measure is useful to Councils in deciding grant awards and other forms of support and it was likely a key factor in WSCC offering a low rent for the Burnside workshop. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Our current finances have held up remarkably
well bearing in mind that attendance income has
been reduced significantly by the pandemic. This
has mostly been as a result of good sales in the
shop and several grants and donations to cover
work at the Kiln. Although we have invested
some of our funds too, our overall balance on a
like for like basis is about £2K lower that at
September 2020.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Charity has built a financial reserve. The
purpose of the reserve is to cover costs due to
relocation to other premises. It is needed
because the Charity rents spaces on short term
leases (6 and 3 month break clause). Our
workshops are specially configured spaces.
Relocation will be expensive since there are no
immediately available spaces elsewhere in the
area. In the event of having to relocate,
equipment assets and materials will need
storage at commercial rates. Relocation and
restart costs will be significant. The contingency
set aside will enable the Charity to rent premises
for approximately one year until alternative
longer termpremises are found.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£18724| |Reasons for holding zero
