**Nettlestone and Seaview Shed (NaSh) Annual Report**
## **1[st] April 2025 - 31[st] March 2026**
Trustees would like to acknowledge the dedication and supportof our volunteer working members, social members and the local communities of both Seaview and Nettlestone without whom the Shed would not exist, nor would it be a sustainable and a very worthwhile cause providing a safe, warm space and giving back to the Island community.
This report will detail all the events and activities undertaken by Shed members during this reporting year but first,some important observations about the Shed and its successessince its inception in 2019.
The well documented Shed ethos worldwide recognises the importance of combatting social isolation amongst retired and generally, elderly men, by creating an environment conducive to drawing individuals together to make things and talk.
In its broadest terms activities for this reporting year have continued in similar ways to previous ones, with Shed members sharing skills to design and make a variety of uniqueitems for local events, as well as finding time as individuals to benefit from the range of equipment provided in the workshop to craft items of their own. These creative activities include discussionand teaching & learning opportunities during the working periods.
A variety of local groups and organisations continue to call upon the Shed to make or mend items and,as wordof theirwillingness to help has spread, the requests are now received from far wider areas of the Island. But, whatever is happening, bifid-morning everything in the Shed stops for a ‘cuppa and biscuits’ and an opportunity to chat. This time not only provides the social cohesion envisaged,but it is also an opportunity to discuss forwardplanning forforthcoming events,to consider how community projects are to be tackled, and which local causes the Shed can support,in addition to the equally important general ‘banter’. The Shed simply wouldn’t fulfil its core purpose without this time.
For comparison, this table shows the increasing Shed wo/man hours:
|2020-21|2,488.5|
|---|---|
|2021-22|3,547|
|2022-23|4,286|
|2023-24|5,121|
|2024-25|5,145.5|
|2025-26|5,602.5|
During this reporting period the Shed attended Seaview Street Fair in May, ShedFest in June, Seagrove Summer Fete in August, the WI Christmas Fair in November andtheir own ChristmasFair

in December. These events provided opportunities to display their beautifully crafted woodworked items and,the donations received have raisedfundsto ensure the running of the shed.
In April(25)community work beganby helping with the installation of a free Wight Fibre fast broadband connection in Seagrove Pavilion;refurbishing and installing a noticeboard for the new Nisa store and renovating the board in Madeira Road. In July, having made the second phase of the Ryde beach boardwalk in conjunction with Ryde Town Council, members were invited to attend a publicity photo on Ryde Sandswith representatives of the Town Council andVisit England.A bench was restored ready to be placed on Sophie Watson’s garden commemorating the local fallen in WW2.Towards the end of the year another initiative involving a bench was publicised by the UKMen’s Sheds Association (UKMSA). This involved challenging Sheds throughout the country to design and construct‘buddy’ benches to be placed somewhere within their local communities, as a place for people to sit and chat. Shed members discussed various designs and locations; this project will be finalised early in the next reporting year (April2026March 27).
The construction of the benches had to be carried out outside and, aware of their proximity to residents,posts are made on social media giving the days and times of any outside working.
It is fair to say that, in the earlier years of the Shed, philanthropy was never an option, nor a consideration, due to the workshop needing to replace and purchase new equipment to allow members to work in a safe environment. However, in the last three years,success at events has made this an important area of discussion, and a sum of £1,000 has been pledged and donated to three local organisations. At Seagrove Summer Fete and Christmas Fair raffles were organised by the Shed and the money raised was donated to the Mountbatten Hospice. In February a donation of £1,000 was made to the newly formed Daisy Ring Bus, which was very gratefully received. Shed members are already discussing recipients for the next donations.
In addition to the core group of Shed working members there is a much larger group of 32 members, plus friends, that comprise the Shed’s social group. These members are invited to a summer BBQ, a Christmas lunch and a regular Friday lunch; additionally, anyone is welcome to pop into the Shed for a chat and a cuppa during our midmorning breaks each weekday.
