## The Lion's Den (Shed)
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2021
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people, particularly but not exclusively men aged 18 or over, within Keighley and the surrounding area, from becoming socially excluded, relieving 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.
For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; loneliness and/or isolation; bereavement; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards); or crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).
## **The charity's main activities**
Activities on offer currently include: woodwork; horticultural/ gardening; fish management (Koi carp); games/ jigsaws; model making; arts and crafts; and singing.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, social inclusion, training and education, partnership working and community involvement; including working with schools and youth groups.
## **Achievements and performance**
The introduction of the ‘Library’ service kept the shed in touch with members and allowed for some funding to be used for providing model kits to give to isolating members. This service allowed for ‘Lockdown’ projects to be recorded and shared through Social Media, helping to keep in touch.
During this period the shed started a project with the Keighley Town Council, after being gifted 15 park benches which were removed from the Town Square, as beyond economic repair, however as an activity for attending members this did not matter. Once we started repairing and refurbishing them, KTC asked if they could buy
In August the shed viewed a further property in Keighley to complement the activities at Cliffe Castle, These premises, in part of an old chapel (St Michael’s, Bracken Bank) were taken on and a lease signed, with work due to start in the October 2021.
Further activities are planned for this building, such as, Bicycle Maintenance and Refurbishment, Model Railways, Arts and Crafts, Singing/Music and an Innovation Hub with 3D printing, laser etching and Electronics.
## **Financial review**
The net receipts for the year were £9,310, including net receipts of £275 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £9,035 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity does not have a reserves policy.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £8.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Lion's Den (Shed) Charitable Incorporated Organisation ('the CIO')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. Whilst an independent examination is not required under section 145 of the Act, the trustees have opted for this type of scrutiny.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
