## **Charity Commission Annual Report Poole Men’s Shed 2024**
## Section C
Our main social day, Wednesday, continues to be well attended. Activities include playing pool, board games and card games as well as occasional presentations and videos. Visits to paces of interest recommenced with a visit to the Fleet Arm Museum. Our ‘Lunch and Breakfast Clubs’ are popular and link us to local care homes. Additionally our Summer BBQ and Christmas Dinner are very well attended by members and their families.
To cope with the demand for our help and the number of members wanting to use it the workshop is now open on four days a week. Examples of projects completed are:
Applied for BCP Coastal Lottery Fund on behalf of Linwood Special Needs School to fund our erection of a Polytunnel & 6 Raised beds to create an Allotment Growing Area for them; Constructed secure Pump Housing for The Patch’s irrigation pump (Power House Diverse Abilities Charity);
Constructed Polytunnel and raised beds for Longspee School; attended Corfe Mullen Carnivsl; Maintenance of Wild Flower Area adjacent to Shed for BCP Outdoor A Frames for Wimborne Junior School; Erected Tool Shed at Patch (Power House) and Clad & fixed windows on Rainwater Shelter; Numerous furniture repairs for friends & general public; Ongoing maintenance jobs for Limelights Youth Center throughout the year.
## Section D
Our use of the ‘Gather’ in Poole Dolphin Shopping Centre has increased our income from sales of items we make. This has helped us become self-funding for normal working expenditure but we rely on grants for major items of equipment. As last year membership has continued to grow to now 70+ perhaps in part due to word of mouth arising from our project work but also from the exposure gained from use of the ‘Gather’. We get referrals from local health professionals and family members who consider their client/family member might benefit from attending Poole Men’s Shed. To cope with the increasing numbers we have increase regular workshop openings to 4 a week as well as a weekly social session in Limelights Youth Centre adjacent to the workshop.
