## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|To reduce the social exclusion of people<br>(particularly, but not exclusively, older<br>men).  To lessen their isolation and provide<br>social opportunities, helping them to build<br>friendships, through the provision of<br>facilities in which they can meet to<br>undertake a range of creative, physical or<br>recreational activities, learn or pass on<br>skills and knowledge.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|We focused on setting up a local version of<br>the recognised concept of a men's shed.<br>Most of our effort during the year was spent<br>in finding suitable premises at an affordable<br>cost.  Towards the end of the period in<br>question, the borough council agreed in<br>principle that we could use one of its<br>buildings.<br>We used social media, including our<br>website and Facebook page, to advertise<br>the shed and to identify potential members.<br>In anticipation, we pursued grants and<br>funding from a number of organisations.|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|All trustees have paid full regard to the<br>Commission's guidance throughout the<br>year.|

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

|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|In the short term, in addition to covering<br>operating costs, we will need to buy a<br>range of workshop equipment.

## **Financial Review** 

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