achievements of the charity
during the year||| ||**The members are the beneficiaries of the charity’s mission to run a**
**craft workshop as an inclusive organisation, combatting isolation in**
**this principally rural community. Its work has attracted approval**
**widely in the county of Suffolk, winning several prizes and monetary**
**awards. Our workshop encourages members to carry out their own**
**work and the charity as a whole creates projects for persons and**
**organizations outside to support its fundraising efforts. The**
**organisation has had a slow post – Covid recovery in terms of**
**recruitment, projects and with several events that we would**
**normally attend, cancelled; fortunately we retained most**
**subscribing members and we were able to maintain and make some**
**improvements to the workshop.**|| |||| |**Section E Financial review**||| |Brief statement of the charity’s
policy on reserves
Details of any funds materially in
deficit||| ||**The accounts for the year and a financial report, will accompany**
**this report.**
**The trustees deemed it prudent to maintain a contingency reserve**
**of £10,000 (around a year’s operating costs) in the event of an**
**unavoidable shutdown, whereupon the Shed would need to fund its**
**re-launch from scratch.**
**Other free reserves amounted to over £31,000 as at 31 March 2022,**
**much of which will be needed as we continue to grow and consider**
**the acquisition of our own premises. Our current lease expires in**
**less than five years’ time.**|| ||**Not applicable**|| |||| |**Section F**|**Other optional information**|| |2||| |**Section G**|**Declaration**|| |**The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.**
