Men’s Shed Horsham
Chairman’s Report 2021/22
Introduction
The objective of this report is to provide members and other interested parties, including the Charity Commission, with an insight into the development and running of the charity. I am pleased to report that MSH is becoming financially self sustainable through members subscriptions, activities undertaken for the community and items sold that were made by members. Although finances are mentioned, they are subject to a separate report which is appended to this report and was prepared by our Treasurer.
Background
For information relating to the background of MSH, please reference previous reports
Membership
Following a recruitment drive we have increased our membership, which now stands in excess of 70 Shedders. Covid related restrictions have been lifted and the Shed is operating at pre-Covid levels
The Shed continues to attract a variety of men with differing backgrounds and skill sets.
Management/Supervision
We now have 5 Supervisors appointed, which provides for flexibility when it comes to holidays and sickness. We have appointed an additional trustee whose role is to research available grants to support the charity
Projects/Shed
As in previous years a significant proportion of time was given over to the production of goods to sell at the local Christmas market. The event was extremely successful in raising money to assist MSH in its financial obligations.
Amongst the community projects completed, the Shed has repaired a large notice board for local community association and built a ‘fortune wheel’ for a local school/community partnership.
Training/Mentoring
Previous report referred
“All new members are provided with an induction session and evaluated on their experience and ability to use certain machinery. A number of experienced members familiar with woodwork equipment undertake the assessment and
those deemed capable of operating machinery are recorded in the Skills Register”.
This process continues. In addition there has been an uptake in woodturning and a number of members have become proficient in the skill.
Socials
There were two main events during the year that benefited members. A trip was organised to an open air historical museum. The Shed received a grant which enabled it to hire a mini bus for the event. In addition a summer BBQ has held for members and their spouses
Recommendations contained in previous reports
One of the recommendations was for the Shed to employ a Shed Manager/Supervisor. This recommendation has been dropped due to appointing further part-time voluntary supervisors
A further recommendation referred to the mentoring of others, including young adults.
The Shed was approached by Horsham District Council to see if it could provide mentoring for children regarding woodwork activities. It was proposed that the activity took place after school time. The Shed was willing to undertake the mentoring, however due to the many restrictions placed upon the Shed by the Council, we had to withdraw our support
