## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
The object of the CIO is to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
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; 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, belief or creed, sexual orientation or gender reassignment; Poor educational or skills attainment; Relationship and family breakdown; Poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards); Crime (either as a victim of crime, or as an offender rehabilitating into society).
## **The charity's main activities**
A community workshop with focus on providing support to anyone with mental health issues. To provide opportunities for friendship and socialising. Providing skills and training from basic hand tools through to machine tools. They can learn CNC machine, 3D printing and engraving and wood turning on a lathe. We also have a small metal working facility to be able to undertake projects that will benefit the group or the individual.
## **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 by preventing people from becoming socially excluded.
To promote social exclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded. We deliver over 850 sessions to people in our community. The age range 30-85 and an equal balance of men and women predominantly from the WF10 area. We have improved the mental health by building confidence using wood and metal work and providing a safe space.
## **Achievements and performance**
This year we have increased the number of sessions we now open, we are offering more structured courses. We now have members who are confident enough to teach courses they have up cycled furniture and wood turning as well as planters bird boxes and bug houses. Many of our members are new to woodworking and come to learn some members just attend for the social side to have a chat and a coffee. Our charities aim is to provide a safe space for those in need of it, a space to sit down socialise and learn a new skill.
