Incorporation and Objectives
WMS was incorporated as a charitable incorporated organisation and registered with the Charity Commission on 29[th] Apr 2021.
The objectives of WMS, as set out in its constitution are :
“To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people (particularly but not exclusively older men), within the area of Ware and surrounding area, from becoming socially excluded. Relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through the provision of facilities in which they learn to pass on skills and knowledge and support each other socially.”
Activities
At the start of the 2022 financial year WMS was looking for a space to operate from, as the original intended home at the Southern Maltings building in Ware was no longer available. This search for premises continued throughout 2022 unfortunately without success. As of the time of writing in 2023, we are now up and running in a new location, but that happened after this accounting period.
We were, however, not completely dormant through the course of 2022 and continued to receive donations of tools, materials and funds and had some outgoings to pay for storage space in a rented garage. We also received many expressions of interest from potential members which were logged and subsequently used when we eventually got going in 2023.
