Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We continued to build up a positive community presence as people have been able to easily walk in and find out what we can offer – though this became impossible in lockdown. Our willingness to help people with repairs, such as with bikes, helped spread positive information about us locally among all age groups by word of mouth. When COVID struck we had about 40 people as regular Shed members. We had a lot more people visiting the Shed for all sorts of reasons, mostly local people asking us to help fix things. They live on the Merseybank Estate, wider Chorlton and surrounding areas. Since lockdown we have 1) made better use of the outside, improving exterior work and storage space; 2) largely kitted out a “clean room” to do finer, more exacting work including some small scale electronics. Shedders worked alone or in distanced small groups. Working with wood has been our first and main activity. We’ve been given tools (small hand tools and large pieces of machinery) and bought more with grant funding. In a poor area like the Merseybank Estate helping people with repairs is an important contribution to keeping people on the move and social and financial inclusion. We fixed our own bikes and those of local people until the tragic death of our most frequent bike volunteer (December 2019). We have not been able yet to reopen this service but hope to do so as/when lockdown lifts. At the close of this year we were able to meet (at a social distance, outside) and initiated moves to widen participation in the Shed – making more of an appeal to women and to younger adult men |
