New Trustees are given a copy of the Constitution and the relevant documents from the Charity Commission on the responsibilities of Trustees. They also have the support of existing Trustees and where appropriate training from the outgoing incumbent. All members will be issued with a ‘Code of Conduct’ with membership renewals in October 23 The Shed is a member of the Southern Men’s Shed network and receive briefing papers.

The WMS aims to promote social inclusion for, but not exclusively older men in the immediate area of Waterlooville.

The WMS provides a workshop environment with tools, material and other equipment. Members can undertake individual projects, communal projects and access social activities for their own and community benefit

Members of the public approach the WMS for help in repairing or replacing household items. These include repairs to fences, repairs/replacement of doors, bin storage etc.

We also undertake items such as bird boxes, tables, bat boxes, nesting boxes and various local charity projects including a summer fate ‘sponge face’ target and refurbishment of an antique writing case. Often the individuals coming forward are the elderly or from the poorer members of the community. The Shed only charges nominal costs for materials and generally these are far cheaper than from commercial outlets.

Members have also assisted with the clearing of sheds and out buildings again, assisting the senior members of the community. The tools and assets obtained in this manner have benefitted the Shed by making available donated tools for private use or for communal use in the Shed. Any surplus to requirements are collected and donated to T.W.A.M. (Tools With A Mission) based in Chichester.

It has been reported verbally back to the Trustees that some new members have gained a “new lease of life” since joining the Shed. They have lifted their depression and have gained a more positive approach to life enjoying the support of like minded men.

Throughout the period covered by this report the WMS has continued to attract new members and has added to its membership currently standing at 44.

During this period work on the Shed premises has continued to expand the range of activities on offer. The external area continues to be an extension of the social aspect of the Shed providing a covered area with benches and tables, which enables the free monthly BBQ to continue regardless of the weather. This area also provides an area allowing members to undertake projects requiring more space. New machines have been

purchased and donated allowing more scope with work and offering new skills to members. A member has taken on the task of PAT tester obtaining his license at his own expense to provide surety of safety of the portable electrical tools available in the Shed

Training on these and other machines continues to be offered to members ensuring a safe working environment whilst in the Shed. The Shed manned a display a local event designed to emphasis Men’s medical and mental issues where we were able to show examples of work achieved by members the general public. This was also been an opportunity to attract and sign up new members.

Social activities during the period have been difficult with the absence of a dedicated Social Secretary however fish & chip supper with a visiting local speaker proved popular and a second similar event is planned in the autumn 2023

Members also had the opportunity to attend the free monthly BBQ, a summer BBQ and Christmas Lunch are also planned for later in 2023
