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| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Para 1.41 Investment performance against objectives Other Para 1.41 ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
