Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
- 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.
- Following the Shed's name change last year, there has been an increase in the number of female members.
- As membership increased, the workshop was expanded. This expansion occurred through contributions of time, effort, and, in some cases, financial donations from members.
- Support from local organisations made it possible to acquire the final major pieces of equipment, completing the outfitting of the workshop.
- Members have undertaken personal projects, but we are also completed a range of projects to help support our local community.
- Our communal allotment allows members who like gardening to show their skills, and we hope for a plentiful harvest this year.
- Members and their partners continue to enjoy an active social events programme
- Our membership numbers are steadily increasing which bodes well for the future.
