Para 1.17 | To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing generally older (but not exclusively older) people residing in Evesham and surrounding areas, from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society by providing a place and facilities where they can meet others and undertake creative, recreational or physical activities, learn and pass on skills, gain confidence and support each other socially and mentally. For the purpose of this clause "socially excluded" means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: loneliness, isolation, unemployment; financial hardship; old age; mental ill health; poor educational or skills attainment; bereavement or relationship and family breakdown. |

Para 1.20 | During the year the extension was completed to budget. Richard has built a drill and battery station that is helping with the management of recharging the batteries. Several items were made for external organisations; buddy bench, garden cart and planters. The bees are doing well and produced 50 lbs of honey which can be purchased by shed members. Unfortunately, the gazebo was destroyed in a storm, a replacement has been purchased which can be folded away when not in use. We have had a couple of barbecues which were well attended. |
