Borough
Council
planning
permission
for the building
and assembly ofthe proposed
shed
buildings,
including
the
instaliation
of
a
storage
container
and
composting
toilet. This major
milestone
enabled
the
buildings
to be
ordered
from the manufacturer,
and for the foundation
contractor to
begin groundworks.
Shortly
thereafter,
it became
dear
that
the
siting
of the
storage
container
could be significantly
improved
for the benefit of allotments
tenants.
This change
in configuration
resulted
in the need for a new
planning
approval
which
in turn
led to another
full public consultation
process, which was successfully
concluded
in May 2021.The assernbiy of
the buildings
began
immediately
thereafter,
and became the first shed
activity carried out by Shedders.
Even
before
utility (e.g. electricity
and waterj
connections
had
been
made, the first Shed session was held on 17'"June attended
by 11new
members,
since when,

with

from

The location of the Shed on the Churchfields
Allotments
has been
a
particular
success for the landowner,
the M/eybridge
Land Charity. The
Shed provides
a property
maintenance
and support
resource that was
riot previously
available tothe Charity, whilst also providing
maintenance
and building
capabilities,
not otherwise
available,
for allotment
tenants,
thereby
creating
a source of projects and resultant
income stream for
the Shed.

Trustees
remain
most
appreciative
of these
particular
individuals'
contribution
towards the success oft:he Shed.
During the year it became apparent
that Shedders
were well-served
by
the Shed
being
predominantly
a woodworking
one, and
progressively
relevant tools and machines
have been added tothe inventory.
At year end, the Shed had
held a tatal
Of 84 SeSSiOnS With an aVerage
attendance
of 11.9 people,
mostly,
but not exclusively,
men. Experience
shows when
larger scale projects are in progress, the safe working
limit
for both Sheds at a session
is a total of 15 people. The age ofattendees
has varied,
but typically
falls into one oftwo groups; those
in their early
20s who come to learn new skills and socialise and those of retirement
age who either have skills they wish to share and continue
with, andior
those who are seeking new social connections.
Annual
eXpenditure
during
the year totalled f64,642, of which f47,244
related to the buildings
themselves,
f9,061to the tooling fitout of the
M/orkshop
Shed, and f4,960for utility connections.
Comment:
The Shed goes into the new financial
year with
a successful
track
record
of completed
projects
and
an "order
book" of future
projects that provide
variety
and a volume of activity that will add to its
success
throughout
2022/23
and
further
enhance
its
value
to the
community.
Funding
and
related
pledges
are
already
in
place
to
enable
the
completion
of the remaining
building
and services
work
by the end of
July 2022.
Trust'ees
remain confident that the Shed will continue to develop
its own
character and style as determined
by the Shedders themselves,
and with
the benefit ofshared
knowledge
ofother Men's Sheds conveyed
through
UK Men's Shed Association.
