Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of the CIO are as follows: To prevent social exclusion by promoting the opportunity for friendships, social engagement and skill sharing in a safe and enjoyable environment, in which members and anyone over the age of 18 can meet and carry out creative projects acceptable to the Shed and of their own choosing, individually and for the benefit of the wider community. To promote good health and well-being to its **members. ** |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
NaSh has continued throughout the Covid pandemic to maintain contact with members, others in the community and other Men’s Sheds through video meetings, phone calls and our various social media outlets. Although we have generally been unable to meet in person during the reporting period due to our age demographic, individuals have kept in contact with those who have been bereaved or felt lonely or isolated. Several small projects have been worked on individually due to Covid restrictions. A total of 54 Wooden Christmas trees crafted from recycled pallets were produced for the Community Partnership and individual members of the community for donations to the fund raising. Several village notice boards were refurbished and maintenance work was undertaken at Seagrove Pavilion, a local community building. This reporting period has been a difficult one for NaSh, but the Trustees have persevered to raise sufficient funds to build our new workshop in the summer of 2021 for the benefit of members and the wider community. It is hoped that 2021-22 will be a better year for working together. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | Trustees have discussed the requirement in Section 4 of the 2006 act to have due regard to guidance on public benefit and have concluded that their activities fall into two broad categories: the benefit to the public in the area (Parish) in which the charity is situated and the benefit for individuals who are part of the charity. In regard to the former our volunteers have undertaken a variety of initiatives in the Parish that have benefitted distinct groups or organisations as well as all residents of the Parish. Prior to the Covid restrictions in 2019 Volunteers restored and repainted an outside playing area at the local primary school and repainted plinths and cleared gutters for the local Church. Projects that reflect a wider public benefit were the restoration of benches and War Memorials in a community garden; the restoration and repainting of wooden village name signs and repainting an old village water pump on the village green. During this reporting period Covid restrictions have not allowed volunteers to meet up in person. Working together has continued via regular Zoom meetings and a WhatsApp group chat. There is documented evidence from shed groups that have been established for several years that volunteers derive a tangible benefit from meeting and working together. |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | NaSh registered to become a charity in June 2020 to raise our profile and help with fundraising activities as these had been restricted by our lack of status, merely being an Unincorporated Association since we founded in November 2019 We have had more than 40 people interested in our activities to date and had 14 paid up members during the period. This is expected to increase when the workshop is built. Social events were not possible due to Covid restrictions. Several small projects have been worked on individually due to Covid restrictions, eg. 54 Wooden Christmas trees from recycled pallets were produced for the Community Partnership and individual members of the community for donations to the fund raising. 3 Notice boards for the Parish council were refurbished; maintenance for the Seagrove Pavilion was also done. A wooden heart and later and Easter egg were crafted from recycled pallets and painted for the Community Shop window displays. Shed members and others in the community were invited to attend remote quiz evenings each week and members “catch-up” meetings were also held twice a month, remotely, to keep in touch during the period. All of these activities have led to less loneliness and isolation. |
