## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 29 March 2023 To 31[st] March 2024** ## **Charity name: Chippenham Shed Charity registration number: 1180371.** ## **Objectives and Activities** |**Objectives and Activities**|| |---|---| ||| |Summary of the purposes of the charity
as set out in its governing document|Chippenham Shed is a community space for adults to
meet, converse and be creative.
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by
preventing people within Chippenham, and the
surrounding area, from becoming socially excluded.
Membership is from Chippenham and surrounding area.| |Summary of the main activities in
relation to those purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the activities,
projects or services identified in the
accounts.|The Shed offers its members a variety of activities
including:

a weekly get-together to socialise over tea and a
piece of cake (biscuits have been known to appear
too!).

social events and activities throughout the year.
There is usually at least one event each month. Past
events have included archery and bowls tasters,
BBQs, curry and beer evenings, and rounding off
each year with a formal Christmas lunch. Details of
future events are shown on the Shed website.

The Shed operates a communal allotment for
members to grow fruit and veg with surplus crops
offered to other members and, potentially, the wider
community.

There is a well-equipped workshop located within the
grounds of North Wilts Bowls Club where members
can make or mend items and become involved in
community projects that make Chippenham an even
better place to live.’

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.|A change of leadership has revitalised the running and
development of the Chippenham Shed.

Communication (and discussion) have been significantly
improved both at the membership level and within the
Board of Trustees. The result of this is a much happier
and engaged membership.

We have changed the name to Chippenham Shed from
Chippenham Men’s Shed to help us become more
inclusive.

We have moved home and are now based within the
grounds of North Wiltshire Bowls Club.

We now have a well-equipped workshop. We took over
a dilapidated wooden social club which has been
refurbished and converted into the workshop. Most of
the work was undertaken by member volunteers. A
significant amount of expenditure last year was on this
project.

We successfully undertook several funding bids to
support the purchase of many of our key pieces of
machinery.

Our new workshop has enabled us to take on projects.
Members can do their own work, but we are also taking
on a range of projects to help support our local
community.

We have a communal allotment for those of our
members who love gardening.

We also have an active social events programme which
includes members and their partners.

Our membership numbers are steadily increasing which
bodes well for the future.
