								Beneficiaries include those facing difficult
								challenges such as bereavement, early
								dementia, medical issues or loneliness.
								Sheddington provides a meeting place to
								build friendships and to do practical activities
								together including craft activity and
								gardening. In 2020-21 Covid raised the
								importance of being able to do this.
								Sheddington has built connections with other
								charities such as Richmond Furniture
								Scheme, Age UK, the NHS, Kew Gardens,
								Police Community Support Officers, and with
								local councillors.
								We have been successful in applying for
								several helpful grants, which will enable us
								to expand our activity. Much effort was spent
								in 2020-21 getting approvals to convert an
								adjacent wooden hall into a larger repair
								shop and meeting place. This expansion
								project is now ready to go ahead.
								Sheddington isa secular, gender neutral
								orgahisation located in the grounds ofa
								Church. Working with the Church authorities
								our joint plan isto create a community hub
								that will revitalise and maximise the value of
								the site.
