Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To reduce the social exclusion of people (particularly, but not exclusively, older men). To lessen their isolation and provide social opportunities, helping them to build friendships, through the provision of facilities in which they can meet to undertake a range of creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge. |
| 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 |
We focused on setting up a local version of the recognised concept of a men's shed. Most of our effort during the year was spent in finding suitable premises at an affordable cost. Towards the end of the period in question, the borough council agreed in principle that we could use one of its buildings. We used social media, including our website and Facebook page, to advertise the shed and to identify potential members. In anticipation, we pursued grants and funding from a number of organisations. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | All trustees have paid full regard to the Commission's guidance throughout the year. |

| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | The shed is run entirely by volunteers, and we have no plans for this to change. Throughout the year we had eight active volunteers. They worked on obtaining premises, and pursuing practical aspects such as improving security and designing additional electrical installations and listing equipment needs. In addition they pursued suitable insurance as well as carrying out fund-raising. |

| 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 | Good progress was made towards obtaining premises, but we have had to wait until the lease is finalised before we can complete insurance arrangements and open the doors to members as a whole. So the beneficiaries have had to be restricted to the eight trustees themselves. They have not in any way benefitted from the yet-to-be-installed facilities and equipment, though they have benefitted from social contact with each other, having not met each other before. |

Para 1.41 | |
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | In the short term, in addition to covering operating costs, we will need to buy a range of workshop equipment. We therefore obtained a grant from a local parish council and a borough councillor which will partly cover the equipment cost. |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Our expenses throughout the year were minimal, so our income of just over £2900 was far more than needed to cover our costs. This puts us on a good footing to meet initial operating costs plus paying for some of the capital equipment that we will require. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Our financial policy is to retain a maximum of six months' operating costs as a reserve. We anticipate that this should cover outstanding commitments at any time. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £2826 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | N/A |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | N/A |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | The concept of a men's shed is well established, and we are confident that we will be able to cover our costs for at least the next few years. But until we are actually operating routinely, we cannot base our confidence on our own actual experience. |
