|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|**We achieved our objective of setting up a**<br>**local version of the recognised concept**<br>**of a men's shed.**<br>**Most of our effort during the year was**<br>**spent negotiating the arrangements of a**<br>**lease on premises at an affordable**<br>**Cost with the borough council using one**<br>**of its buildings, and henceforth,**<br>**refurbishing the building ready for**<br>**occupancy.**<br>**We used social media, including our**<br>**website and Facebook page, to advertise**<br>**the shed and to identify potential**<br>**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.**|

|**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>**focused on the refurbishment of the**<br>**newly acquired premises and equipment**<br>**for the use of members. Operating costs**<br>**were minimal as we only had the**<br>**premises for some six weeks prior to the**<br>**end of the reporting period. The charity**<br>**had a healthy positive cash balance at**<br>**the end of the period.**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**Our financial policy is to retain a**<br>**maximum of six months' operating costs**<br>**as a reserve.**<br>**We anticipate that this should cover**<br>**outstanding commitments at any time.**|

|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, and over a**<br>**period of operating time, we cannot**<br>**base our confidence on our own actual**<br>**experience. **|
