Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

• policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;

• the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;

• relationship with any related parties;

• trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

As we have only obtained premises on 1[st] March 2021 the Steering Group of initial volunteers continues to manage the day to day matters while the Trustees provide oversight. All major decisions affecting the running and finances of the charity going forward will be taken by the members at general meetings in line with our Constitution.

We have copies of policies & procedures adopted by other Men’s Sheds which we have started to review, amend and/or accept as we become fully operational after the Covid-19 lockdowns and as we obtain additional equipment/tools that require risk assessments and consideration.

During this reporting year the Trustees have all taken part in on-line training for Trustees, with the Project Coordinator attending additional financial training – all provided by Community First Yorkshire or their partners.

Our registration with the UK Men’s Shed Association has changed to “Operational” now that we have a venue and are preparing for post-Covid opening. We are also in contact with a growing number of other Sheds locally.

Ongoing support is provided by Community First Yorkshire, Nidderdale Plus Community Hub and over this financial year we have received grants via local sources such as Two Ridings Community Foundation and NYCC Stronger Communities. During the year we carried out two major risk assessments: (i) restarting

working out of doors on woodland projects – Summer 2020 and (ii) Covid19 Re-opening of venues – March 2021; the last one using a HSE template as part of a grant application to North Yorkshire CC.

As we grow in membership and number of sessions all members will be encouraged to be aware of their personal responsibility to be compliant with Health & Safety requirements and to highlight potential risks to the Trustees. Health & Safety, including a review of the Risk Register will be a mandatory item on the quarterly Trustees’ meeting.

Section C Objectives and activities

The objects of the CIO (Pateley Shed) as in our Constitution are for:

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

the public benefit, the preservation and protection of good health among men aged 18 years and older, living in Nidderdale and Pateley Bridge and the surrounding area, including those who are retired, unemployed or have health problems, through the provision of facilities for hobbies, recreation or other leisure time occupations including practical interests, skills sharing, the learning of new skills, and helping with communitybased projects.

We do this through the provision and management of facilities in which they can meet to undertake creative, physical, or recreational activities, plus learning and/or passing on skills and knowledge, while supporting each other socially.

A key aim is to provide an environment that is safe and that encourages the sharing of life’s experiences, concerns and problems and a “listening ear” to further each other’s well-being.

During the period of this report the main activities undertaken have been:

• meeting once a fortnight to socialise over a cuppa on-line via Zoom (due to Covid-19 guidance) while continuing to establish the charity and search for a permanent venue.

 During the summer (2020) relaxation of Covid-19 lockdowns we met weekly in Fish Pond Woods, Bewerley to carry out various forestry/handicraft activities and projects to help the owner including making Bird boxes and a bench around a tree for local visitors.  In October we started discussions with North Yorkshire CC to become the tenant of their former Youth Centre in Pateley Bridge.  In early 2021 we signed the lease and obtained access to the former Youth Centre in the March. The premises consist of three huts, two of them have sitting sub-tenants and we have use of the third but will Summary of the main activities undertaken for the be responsible for the maintenance of all three under the Rent & Repair lease signed with the County Council (which will provide public benefit in relation to further projects for our members). these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have Sadly, in January 2021 we lost a founder member and Trustee due to Covid-19, a great loss. had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity By end of March 2021 with only “word of mouth” to recommend us and Commission on public no venue up to then there are five men who have met up regularly during benefit) 2020-21 and benefit from the charity’s existence. We have a growing number of followers on our Face Book page, many being women who have shown an interest in or enquired about the Pateley Shed so hopefully we will increase in actual members as we reopen the workshop. Early indications do show that the members are benefitting in line with the “Five Ways to Well-being”: Connecting; Learning; Being Active; Taking Notice and Giving (of one’s time and support to others) with friendships growing and people feeling less isolated.

Declaration – as Trustees we have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

• the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);

• how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;

Principle sources of finance are Annual Membership Fees along with voluntary Session fees paid as and when attending. Also, we continue to identify sources of grants both regionally and nationally.

Not applicable at present

Section F Other optional information

Other Information

Areas like Nidderdale can present unique challenges for local people and these are dis-proportionally experienced by people who are elderly, ill, or vulnerable. More than a quarter – 25.5% - of Nidderdale’s 8,850 people are aged 65 and over (as opposed to the national average of 17.7%).

Living in rural areas creates higher levels of poverty than suggested by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. Joseph Rowntree’s Minimum Income Standards found that once fuel, housing, and travel are factored in, rural budgets need to be 20% higher than urban budgets to maintain the same living standards. The Observer (2013) reported that 25% of farming families live on or below the poverty line with people in rural communities earning £5,000 less than the national average. This means there is a significant proportion of the population in Nidderdale struggling in some way and Pateley Shed can help improve their well-being.

Workshop facilities and friendships built in our “Pateley Shed” can provide a route to better health that is compliant with the “Five Ways to Well Being” programme i.e., Connect; Learn; Be Active; Take Notice & Give, currently being promoted by Public Heath England, the NHS and several Mental Health charities and organisations. Men’s Sheds do appear to support this argument with over 600 Shed’s operating in the UK plus 150 in development regularly attended by over 13,000 “Shedders”.

INDEPENDENT EAXMINER'S REPORT

I have examined the accounts of the Nidderdale and Pateley Bridge Men's Shed C.I.O. for the year ending 31 March 2021 and believe the accounts to be a true statement of the affairs of the charity as revealed in the books and documents submitted to me.

I have not conducted an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
