benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|This was a completely unprecedented
period in our history. The majority of
members and volunteers are older and
many have significant long-term health
conditions. COVID-19 meant that we took
the decision, for health and safety reasons
to close to the public during the entirety of
this reporting period.
This was also a time of transition, as there
were a number of changes in the trustees.| |Statement confirming

volunteers|Para 1.38|Despite being closed to members. The
trustees developed a rota, so that they and
volunteers could access the ‘shed’ once
lockdown restrictionswerelifted.| Manchester, as part of Greater Manchester were subject to additional restrictions in relation to the number of people, who could meet, so this rota only allowed two people to access the site at a time. We made a plan to carry out improvements to the building and outdoor space during the closure. Volunteers were key to the successful completion of these enhancements. Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |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|The improvements to the site included
resurfacing the yard with concrete, building
a new shelter to store wood and other
materials. We developed a clean area,
away from the workshop, so when we
reopen, arts and crafts can be carried out
away from the dust created by
woodworking. We also created a new
space upstairs, where smaller woodworking
projects could be undertaken away from
the downstairs workshop space which
contains a lot of equipment.
We also completely reconfigured the
workshop – some of our key
volunteers/trustees have a background in
joinery and construction. They have
donated a range of tools and equipment in
preparation for reopening.
Despite the closure, we decided it was
safe to maintain the bike repair service.
People dropped off and collected their bike
outside, so there was no need for contact.
This allowed us to maintain some contact
with our local community but in a limited
way.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
