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 working with local organisations
and individuals delivering projects for the
community.
We used social media, including our
website and Facebook page, to advertise
the shed and to identify potential
members.We pursued grants and
**funding from a number of organisations. **

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.
