Additional governance issues (Optional information)

The three remaining initial volunteers continues to manage the day-to-day matters while, as Trustees they also, along with a non-member trustee provide oversight especially of financial and governance matters.

All major decisions affecting the running and finances of the charity are 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 adopted and review as we continue to grow in number and as we obtain additional equipment/tools that require risk assessments and user training.

We are registered as “Operational” with the UK Men’s Shed Association (UKMSA) and have formed relationships with a growing number of other Sheds locally.

This financial year we struggled with obtaining grants but did successfully receive a grant of £725 from Cllr Dr A Murday of the new North Yorkshire Council to refurbish our kitchenette.

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 is a mandatory item on the Trustees’ meetings.

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 of members have included:

increasing sessions from two to three mornings a week 09:30 – 13:00 to work on personal and group projects as members wished.
Continuing to provide ad hoc facilities maintenance to Nidderdale Plus, both at their community hub and at their charity shop in Pateley High Street.
The provision of Shuttering and some groundworks in assisting the Darley Playing Fields Association to build two Petanque (Boules) courts (see photos below).

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Building a Picnic table to match an existing one, plus making three Planters for the Summerbridge Community primary school.
Restoring two corroded road side Mile Posts, which it turned out are listed monuments, for the Pateley Bridge Town Council.
Refurbishing a dilapidated old washing mangle that had been donated to the Nidderdale Museum by the family of a local business (J Todd & Son) that had made it originally in the 1800’s or early 1900’s.
Supplying and installing under floor insulation to an old Victorian terrace house being used by Nidderdale Community Welcome to house a Syrian refugee family.

During this financial year, following attendance at the Nidderdale Show and some coverage in the local press membership has grown from 18 to 25 men. Around 15 will regularly attend at least one of the weekly sessions, with a hard core of five attending every session, thereby benefiting from the charity’s existence.

Section D Achievements and performance

TAR

230703 - TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT - 2022 - 23

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

As summarised above in Section C:

Increased membership from 18 to 25 after the challenges of Covid restrictions.
Continued to grow our number of Face Book and website (www.pateleyshed.org.uk.) followers.
Held a members’ AGM and filed the 2021 - 22 Accounts and Trustees’ Annual Report all within the recommended Charity Commission guidelines.
Continued to place articles and letters in the local newspaper to raise public awareness of the charity and had a stand in the “Heritage” tent at the Nidderdale Show.
During this reporting year we have also been successful in obtaining the following grant:

Cllr Dr A Murday of the new North Yorkshire Council.

A grant of £725 to completely refurbish the existing small kitchenette situated in the corner of the workshop; reducing the intrusion of dust and noise, thus helping to encourage more conversations leading to improving well-being of members.

Section E Financial review

TAR

230703 - TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT - 2022 - 23

Brief statement of the

charity’s policy on reserves

As of year-end 31 March 2023 our Reserves (i.e., unrestricted funds) stood at £4,153

In response to one of our sub-tenants paying their rent erratically and falling into arrears, members agreed that we should continue to build up our reserves so that we could pay our rent (£2,400 p.a.) independently of the rent we received from our two sub-tenants. Our current lease ends March 2024 so reserves of around £4,000 will contribute to this policy during the remaining lease period.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

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;
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

Sources of finance are annual membership fees, and we continue to apply for appropriate grants from both regionally and nationally – as in Sect. D above.

In addition, in this financial year we have earned £1,322 income from small projects - charging for materials and labour at £10 an hour - regardless of the number of men involved.

Our receipts in this financial year 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023 were £8,079 down 42% on last year, which reflects the lack of volunteer time this year to apply for grants.

Expenditure is in line with the charity’s objectives and our tenancy conditions as can be seen from our accounts which will be filed with the Charity Commission and HMRC in due course.

Payments during the year were £9,053 down 20% on last year, resulting in a deficit of £973.

This was mainly due to the charity having to pay £2,400 p.a. rent for the first time to North Yorkshire Council and increased use of electricity and materials for community projects.

Investment policy not applicable at present.

Section F Other optional information

Other Information

The Pateley Shed is situated in what was a former Youth Centre run by NYCC, then became a Pre-school nursery before becoming workshops. Our site address is :

Former Youth Centre Rear of St Cuthbert’s C of E primary school Off King Street Workshops King Street, Pateley Bridge HG3 5LE

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.

The workshop facilities and friendships built in our “Pateley Shed” do 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” (Source - UK Men’s Shed Association).
