ObjectIV￿ and actlvltles
As set out in our goveming document our primary objectives are..
To promote social inclusion for the public benefrt by préventing men and boys of all ages wtthin
Norfolk and surrounding areas, from becoming soGially excluded, rellewng the needs of those
people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate Into society In particular but
not exdusively by..
a) providing facilities In whith they can meet jointly or individualty to undertake cr8ative, physlcal
or recreational activrties, leam or pass on skills and knowwge and support eath other socially;
b) providing practical advice and support to those Individuals.,
c) raising public awareness of the issuès affecting those indiwduals both generalty and in relation
to their inclusion., and
d) providing advi￿ so that the local communty and businesses can &Japt theirservices to better
understsnd and meet the needs of those Indiwduals.
By 'socialiy exciuded, we mean being exciuded from society, or parts of society. as a result of
one of more of the following fadors.. unemployment- fin8nclal hardship., youth or old age,- ill
health (physlcal or mental).
We are comrnitted to providing an inclusive environment for all who identify as male,
regardless of age. gender identity, race, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, socio-
economic status and faith. And we expect those that engage wrth us to do the same.
The Trustees can confimi that they have had pald due regard to the guldan¢e issued by the
Charity Commisslon on public benefft.
Menscraft supports boys and men of all ages
We offer infomiation, aclivrtie5 and programmes to meet the challenges of the different life
stages.

Menscraft
For the year ended 31 March 2024
R8POrt of the Trustses - cont'd
Our approach is strengths based. We sa8k a positive and deeper undeTstsnding of masculinty
and one that promotes equalities. We support young men making the transition to aduthood;
men as fathers. those experiencing drfficulties, for example in their rolationships, work or vjith
their mental health. We provide on&tMne supp)rt, group work and access to other specialist
sermces. Our range of activities giveboys and men purpose, the opportunity for connection with
others, and opportunities for improved wellbeing.
Menscraft's stsrting point is that happier and healthier men make for better brothers, partners,
fathers, sons, friends and colleagues.
We arè ¢ommitted to providing an inclusive envlronmenl for all who identfy as male, regardless
of age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation. disability, ethnicty, Srti(F economic status and
faith. And we expect those that engage with us to do the same.
v￿lIe some (unhelpful) nornis remain entrenched in how masculinity is expressed, validated
and contested. our 5t8rting polnt is that a 'mature or integrated, m8sculinty goes beyond the
'myth of the Hero,.
Trèasuref s report
The year to 3113124 was another year of growth for Menscraft. Our income grew to £664,200,
up over a third on the prewous y8ar, which has allowed us to increase the range and reach of
our services across the county. Accordingly. our expenditure also saw a similar increase, up
around a third to £556,782. Therefore, our total assets increased to £418,187 up from £310,749
at the yeawd in 2023. This has allowed us to build reserves designated towards the
continuation of our charttable objectives and provide a secure foundation fer our future.
anticipate the need to draw on these reseNes during 24125 on onwards, given the pressures on
employment costs. competitiveness when ￿ruitIng and the growing demand for our seNices.
Such rapid growth has meant that we have had to look hard at all our processes and capabilities
to ensure that they remain effective, and, in this peric¥J, it was dear that major changes were
needed in the way that that we handle our accounting and financial reporting. Two main
changes were made. we acquired and implemented a new accountancy sothvare {Xero) and
appointed an outsourced finance manager and team. These changes required a considerable
Investment of time and effort, and l am very grateful to everyone involved for their input over the
year.
We have also reviewed what W8 5P8nd on our core costs (insuran￿, IT, HR and Finance etc.)
in line with our expanding needs. The adjustments have proved cost effective.
