Basingstoke Shed is governed by its constitution dated 21[st] November 2016; trustees are elected by members of Basingstoke Shed in accordance with the constitution. There were no Trustee changes during this reporting period.
Our objectives are:
_“The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit of men and women living in Basingstoke and the surrounding area to combat loneliness and social isolation arising as result of their age, infirmity, disability, financial hardship or social circumstance._
_To do this we will provide workshop facilities where they can meet to socialise and engage in activities together, such facilities being aimed at increasing their engagement, skills and condition of life_ .”
The trustees believe we have complied with our objects as stated in our constitution and will continue to do so for the benefit of our members and the public.
At the end of June 2023 the total value of cash and bank deposits was £23,171, of which £5970 was unrestricted funds and £17,201 restricted funds.
## Membership
At the end of the reporting year, we had 34 members.

## Activities and Achievements
In the year reported, our activities and achievements included:
- Completion of the Shed-in-a-Bus project. The double decker bus was converted to a mobile workshop and cafeteria. The Bus was moved from the Stagecoach Bus Depot in Basingstoke and was MOT’d. Internally, we reviewed the operation and running aspects of the project and concluded that we did not have sufficient resources to operate the Bus. Despite extensive canvassing of other UK Sheds, Members and similar organisations both locally and regionally we were unable to find anyone to take on the operation and running of the Bus. We had some initial interest from several groups but in the end storage, insurance costs and operational difficulties meant we had to find an alternative use for the Bus. After consultation with our sponsors and funders we obtained their agreement to sell the Bus for use as a stationary workshop and cafeteria. They also agreed we could retain any unspent funds for use in line with our objectives as a Shed. The balance of the specific funds originally allocated from our own Shed funds were also released back into Shed general funds.
- Operating a Music Shed at the Shed, we have two groups holding sessions on alternate Wednesdays.
- Supporting our landlords. We have a mutually beneficial relationship with our landlords supporting Everest Community Academy and Westside Community Centre with maintenance and support activities. An example of this work was the replacement of 320 table tops for the Everest Academy which we understand was extremely helpful for them and enabled them to reuse their existing desks rather than replace the complete desks. Similarly there were various activities at Westside including refurbishing tables used in the Social Club.
- Supporting the local community. For example we made 42 Christmas Trees, each made of plywood and 1.2m high for Basingstoke and Deane Council which were then distributed to local schools and other groups for decorating and then displaying at the local shopping centre in December. We also supported the local library by delivering 6 large planters that are now installed in an outside patio area.
- Members are continually working on their own projects and projects that help the community.
- Ensuring that Basingstoke Shed provides a safe environment for our members and for those organisations and individuals we help by updating and developing our procedures and protocols.
Each of these activities relate to our objectives and they contribute to the benefit of the wider community in which we live.
The Shed continues to have a generally positive atmosphere and our members assist each other and share ideas. New members are always welcome and there is usually someone to give a helping hand and make them feel part of the Shed community.
