Structure, Governance and Management
Woking & District Men’s Shed is an association Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and as such, its governing document is a written constitution. It has a board of trustees who are responsible for strategic planning and compliance with legal and Charity Commission requirements. Responsibility for day-to-day operational matters has been delegated by the trustees to a Management Committee.
Objectives and Performance
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by reducing the risk of men aged 18 or over, within Woking and the surrounding area, becoming socially excluded, supporting the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through the provision of facilities in which they can meet to undertake creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge, and support each other socially. It is well documented that the collaborative activities and supportive environment provided by Men’s Sheds can have a positive impact on men’s mental health and well-being.
Membership has continued to grow steadily, and the attendance at shed sessions has increased during the period of the report. Members have had the opportunities to carry out individual projects, to work collaboratively with one another on projects which have benefited other local community groups and to meet up for social gatherings.
The trustees believe that we have complied with our objects as stated in our constitution and will continue to do so for the benefit of our members and the wider community. We are also pleased to acknowledge that we continue to develop a very positive relationship with our landlord, Anchor - West Hall, to the benefit of both parties.
Achievements and Performance
In addition to developing skills by working on individual projects, members of the shed have undertaken the following projects for local groups and organisations during this period:
-
Construction of 50 Dormouse nesting boxes for the Surrey Dormouse Group.
-
Installation of shelves and lighting for the Byfleet Community Fridge.
-
Construction of a large pavement planter for the West Byfleet Community Gardening Group, to be placed in the centre of West Byfleet.
-
Refurbishment of garden benches for the West Hall Care Home.
-
Refurbishment of donated furniture for Woking Besom.
-
Conversion of an old bookcase into a bean-bag throwing game for the residents at West Hall Care Home.
-
Construction of a Nail Bar for the use of residents at West Hall Care Home.
-
Refurbishment of a pair of large metal giraffes in the grounds of West Hall Care Home.
The Shed has hosted presentations on the subject of Wills and LPAs, and on Emergency First Aid. Members also took part in outings to Farnborough Air Sciences Museum, Kempton Steam Museum and a Canal Boat outing on the River Wey Navigation.
The Shed took stalls at the following events; Pyrford Village Show, Byfleet Parish Day, West Hall Summer Fair and West Hall Christmas Fair. Taking these stalls not only gives us a chance to engage with members of the public and increase awareness of the role of Men’s Sheds, but it also allows us to raise funds which help towards our running costs.
As a consequence of these activities, we have seen steady growth in our membership numbers throughout the year.
