Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/09/2022 Period start date To 31/08/2023 Period end date Charity name: Camberley & District Men’s Shed Charity registration number: 1196563

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 achieved our objective of setting up a
local version of the recognised concept
of a men's shed.
Most of our effort during the year was
spent negotiating the arrangements of a
lease on premises at an affordable
Cost with the borough council using one
of its buildings, and henceforth,
refurbishing the building ready for
occupancy.
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.

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 membership as well as carrying
**out fund-raising. **

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
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 The charity finally took residence in its
new premises over the summer. As at the
end of this reporting period, the Men’s
shed had a total of 25 members in
addition to the Trustees.
Members have benefitted from
the installed facilities and
equipment, and from social contact with
each other, having not met each other
before

objectives set		 Para 1.41
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 In the short term, in addition to covering
operating costs, we had need to buy a
range of workshop equipment. We
therefore obtained grants from local
parish & borough councillor’s, as well as
local charities and commercial
companies which have helped
enormously with the refurbishment of
premises and purchase of equipment.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Our expenses throughout the year were
focused on the refurbishment of the
newly acquired premises and equipment
for the use of members. Operating costs
were minimal as we only had the
premises for some six weeks prior to the
end of the reporting period. The charity
had a healthy positive cash balance at
the end of the period.
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 reservesheld Para 1.22 **33,081 **
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, and over a
period of operating time, we cannot
base our confidence on our own actual
**experience. **
