**Nettlestone and Seaview Shed**
## **Annual Report for 1[st] April 2023 - 31[st] March 2024**
Shed members have agreed that one of the most significant achievements in this reporting period was the donation of handmade wooden Christmas toys to the children’s ward at St Mary’s hospital. Volunteers designed and constructed the toys and were delighted to be able to take them to the hospital. Staff confirmed our hope that these gifts would be of significant benefit to the children.
During this period Shed members continued to receive requests from groups and organisations within the Parish of Nettlestone and Seaview in respect of making or repairing items. A new notice board was made for Seagrove Pavilion and an existing notice board was refurbished for St Peter’s Church, with the latter being admired for the quality of craftsmanship. The metal gates at St Peter’s were repainted in time for the late Queen’s Jubilee. A new notice board near Quay Rocks identifying the ships that pass was also made, with wind and weatherproofing being important in its exposed position.
In conjunction with the Parish Council’s initiative to promote a circular walk around the village, the Shed produced small wooden red squirrel shaped way marking signs for the Barnsley Trail.
In January the Shed was approached by Ryde Town Council with a request to consider helping with the construction of a disabled board walk for Ryde beach. Members agreed it was a task they would be keen to undertake. Work is due to commence during the next reporting period.
A chance discussion by a Shed member resulted in a number of ‘quirky faces’ spectacle holders appearing in all branches of ‘Wight Sight’ opticians, with a kind donation received from the manager.
In July the construction of a wood store and finishing room, which was started in March, was completed. This new building, adjacent to the original workshop, will provide much needed clean space to paint and varnish items made in the workshop as well as an indoor space to store wood.
Many of these accomplishments are added to the website gallery and are shared on Facebook, links at the end of this report.
Together with the donations received for repair work and the generosity of residents and local businesses, fundraising continued through attendance at local craft events.

In December members organised their own Christmas Craft Fair in conjunction with the local WI.
As a result of a successful bid for a small grant from Wight Aid, members were able to purchase a new gazebo for use at all outdoor promotional events.
By the end of this reporting period sufficient funds had been raised to purchase a new dust extraction system; a long awaited and much needed health and safety addition to the workshop. This equipment necessitates the construction of a separate sound reducing housing unit on the exterior of the workshop. It is anticipated that the unit will be installed and operational in the next financial year.
Trustees and Shed members are all volunteers clocking up a phenomenal total of 5,121 hours of time during this reporting period.
On a day-to-day basis, a group of approximately 8-10 members attend the workshop making and repairing items. But, once a month, our wider group of up to 30 social members meet, emphasising the enormous value of the social side of the Shed. Probably the most memorable social event during this reporting period was a trip on the Waverley paddle steamer.
Financial sustainability is of paramount importance if the Charity is to continue to deliver its objectives. Currently there are no uncertainties about the Shed’s continuation. Sufficient funds have been raised to ensure continuation for at least the next few years. A reserve fund had been created to ensure running costs are covered, together with contingency for repairs.
Once again this year, I’d like to thank all the Trustees and volunteers who help to make the Shed such a success, without you, it would not be possible.
