Long Sutton Mens, Shed
Chairmans Report 2024-2025
The 'shed' continues to thrive. maintsining the number of members
around the 110 mark.
We have lost some members through ill health. moving house etc. but
have to accept that some members choose to leave for various reasons
unknown.
We always attempt to find out why. if any member has not attended
tor a while. and our Welfare Officer will try to make contact. estsblish
the reason for absence and offer any assistsnce we can.
New members are always met Initlallyi introduced to everyonei given a
tour of the premises with an explanation of how things work.
If interested we offer membership for an annual fee of £10.00 with an
attendance fee of £l.lJ)
We still have a number of members with both physical and learning
difficulties and manage to accomodate these with varlous activities
and by socialising with other members.
These members are often referred to the 'shed' through social services
or specialist care companies and usualty attend accompanied with a
carer.
This year we have extended our premises to create a new wood
turning workshop which has proved very popular.
This has meant an increase in our rent of £6￿.00 per annum.
Other new projects indude the purchase of a cnc wood router and a 3d
printer thereby increasing the activities we offer.
A major project has been the construction of a large model railway
which has encompassed a number of skills

We continue to maintain a heatthy bank balance (see attached
account) and are grateful to a number of grant providers.
