Due to lockdown restrictions, for most of the period of this report, members of the Den have been meeting online via Zoom. These were held each Thursday and included discussions about future projects after lockdown, general social chats and quiz competitions. We also linked up with a Men’s Shed in Edmonton Canada via Zoom each Friday. These sessions included PowerPoint presentations by our respective members

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)

At the start of the Covid19 pandemic members clubbed together to purchase a 3D printer to make visors for care workers in local care homes, pharmacies and local shop. The items were made using the printer by one of our members at his home.

When lockdown restrictions were eased last Summer, members of the Den met outside keeping to social distancing rules. Members also worked at the allotment when permitted to do so in accordance with Government requirements.

All trustees have read and have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

During the period of this report the Den has continued to help improve and maintain the wellbeing of its members by enabling them to meet virtually online using Zoom. We have also maintained contact via WhatsApp including sharing photos and local news. Members also contributed articles to an online monthly Den newsletter.

During the period last Summer when restrictions were eased members helped refurbish the local community garden next to our workshop which helped it achieve a Green Flag Award.

Section E Financial review

We ensure that enough money is in our bank account to cover the cost of our main overheads, i.e. rent and insurance.

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.

Our main sources of funding are members annual subscriptions, the sale of items made by members and grants.

Expenditure incurred on renting the workshop and allotment and purchasing new tools and equipment has supported the Den’s key objectives set out in Section C above by enabling members to continue their practical activities and help with community projects as and when permitted by the Government’s Covid-19 pandemic regulations and advice.

Note on the accounts: The cash funds at last year end of £2494 shown in line A6 of this year’s receipts and payments account differs from the figure (£1121) shown on last year’s accounts comparative data column due to the transferring funds in the Den's bank (£1373) at the point it became a CIO being omitted from the 2019/2020 first part year CIO accounts.

Section F Other optional information

Strict adherence to the Government's Covid-19 regulations has severely curtailed the opportunities for the existing membership to meet face to face during the year. These meetings would normally take place in the workshop and the adjoining community garden (weather permitting). Even when permitted because of the limited workshop space it has not been possible to take on new Members. To address this, the trustees intend opening the workshop on Thursday mornings and Mondays to allow for more people to join the Den once the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. We have now started distributing fliers inviting new members to join for the Monday sessions.

Section G Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
