Basingstoke Shed Annual Report
Year ending June 2024
Basingstoke Shed is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered charity number 1170481. At the end of this reporting period the Basingstoke Shed operated out of Everest Community Academy, Oxford Way, Basingstoke RG24 9UP. During the period our location at Westside Community Centre, had to close due to the structural RAAC problem (there are no plans to reopen the centre at the time of writing).
The trustees of Basingstoke Shed present their annual report and accounts for the year ending June 2024.
The trustees for the period were:
Tim Winkle (Chair)
Derek Nash Amanda Lewis
Phil Neale
The trustees would like to pass on our condolences to the family of Mike Brading who recently passed away (December 2024). Mike Brading was the founder of the Basingstoke Shed and was the driving force behind the Shed-in-a-bus Project as well as his other extended work with the UKMSA and supporting other Sheds, contributing significantly to improve the mental health of people in the community. He was a lovely, kind hearted man who spent a lot of his time working to improve the lives of others.
In this reporting period (August 2023) Robert Taylor sadly passed away, Robert had been receiving treatment for lymphoma. He joined the Shed in April 2018 and was a Trustee for over two years. He contributed greatly to the charity, being a key member of the team moving from QMC to Westside and was involved in many community projects.
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. This year there were changes to the Trustees, Robert Taylor died and Phil Neale was appointed as a new Trustee in December 2023.
Our objects as specified 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.

Activities and Achievements
In the year reported, our activities and achievements included:
-
Supporting the local community. This year we supplied to the Basingstoke Library Discover Centre in Basingstoke providing a six large planters and two large A frame planters. In addition we supplied to the Oakley Village Hall a stage stair platform to aid amateur dramatic productions.
-
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 by repairing and refurbishing equipment. The Shed also supports the school through teaching basic woodworking skills to a small group of students.
-
Operating a Music Shed at the Shed, we have two groups holding sessions on alternate Wednesdays.
-
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, this year the focus has been on developing risk assessments and ensuring that members use equipment safely.
-
Providing a location for men and women to make things and enjoy friendly banter.
Each of these activities relate to our objects and they contribute to the benefit of the wider community in which we live.
A significant issue for the Shed this year was the closure of our premises at the West Side Community Centre. The Centre was closed due to the structural RAAC issue. We were given very short notice of the closure but were able to move equipment to a storage facility. The Trustees have tried to find an alternative location but this has not been possible. As Basingstoke Shed now has limited space and access we have had to freeze our membership numbers.
The future
We hope to take on new members again in the coming year.
Thanks
The trustees and members of Basingstoke Shed express their appreciation for the support provided by Everest Community Academy, Stagecoach Basingstoke and Westside Community Centre.
