I was happy that we started the second year with money in the Bank, this being £37.633. This obviously gave us the understanding of where we needed to be in this coming year. To maintain the evolution of the shed, we will be more aware of pitfalls that may come our way and be prepared for them. We will continue to be stringent with monies spent to ensure the continuation of the shed beyond this year and to continue for years to come. We continued to look for support from various sources via Donations and people have been more than happy to help us. We had one grant from the CO-OP of £3643.45 in November which we first applied for last year. This was awarded due to us considering Ladies joining the shed as they suffer the same as Men hence including the name Shedders in our paperwork. They looked kindly on us when deciding due to us being conscious of EDI. (Equality. diversity and inclusion) they did say that if we hadn’t done this, they would not have awarded the grant to us. More people have been including us in donations to the shed in memory of their loved ones who have passed away. Local companies continue to help with small donations this being monies, products, tea, coffee sugar, biscuits etc. Every little helps us. We joined a community hub that occurs every two months on the first Wednesday, held in Crewe Market place, this highlights what the shed is all about and we get an awful lot out of informing local residents, businesses etc what we do and the people we help. We are also being asked to do presentations to local businesses, community groups etc, which we are happy to do. We are getting more referrals from community centres, doctor surgeries, health authorities etc. You will see by the accounts. the good work bringing in monies to keep us going. Saying that we had to spend money on maintaining the shed’s machines, purchasing tools etc.

I have also updated our computers having Microsoft Office put on them to encourage the elder members to use them as many of them are computer illiterate and more and more things are being done online now. We have spoken to a training company to come and do an inhouse course on totally bewildered by computers to help them.

As I stated last year it was our intention to improve the shed and to this, we purchased a container which cost us £2405.00 to move the paint shop out of the building which is located next to the brew room, this has been located here since Crewe Men in Sheds started years ago and at times the smell of paint when people are eating is unbearable. We had to get permission from Cheshire East Council to put this container on the Car park which they granted but limited the size to a 10ft container when we had asked for a 20ft one. Next this has to be insulated, boarded out with fire proof boarding and electrics connected.

Once the container has been done, we also have permission from the council to take down a studded wall in-between the brew room and the paint room to extend the brew room incorporate a kitchen in here to accommodate the increase in membership. This will be done in stages to enable us to look at getting local companies to help out.

We even took out a TV Licence to enable members to watch the television at lunch time etc or even if they just want to sit, have a drink and watch the TV during the day.

We continue to make and sell projects to sell to supplement our Bank Balance as well as donating projects to the community. Again, we had a good response from the Armed Forces Day held in Crewe Queens Park and this year we ran a Pop-Up store in December outside the shed which was well received. We will carry on with both of these next year.

I negotiated with Zurich to reduce our insurance costs, as every little saved helps. Fortunately, income exceeded expenditure giving us a good end to the year closing with a Bank Balance of £40,350.97.

On the down side Cheshire East has informed us that they are putting the rent up from April the 1st 2024 by £60.00 a month £550.00 to £610.00. This does obviously put a strain on us being a small charity. They also said going forward they will be putting the rent up every April.

We are in a position that looking to move would not be feasible due to the location of the shed, car parking facilities, cost of moving etc.

Next year we can concentrate on looking at grants, funding etc to help carry on our good work.

As I stated last year: The long-term vision for us is to keep Crewe Men in Sheds CIO growing from strength to strength increasing our membership and looking after the needs of them. This is of course people suffering from Mental Health issues, Physical disabilities, anxiety problems, retired etc or just people who need a place to go to. We try not to turn anyone away if they need our help.

We are now looking at having a website and a local company has agreed to design this for us. This will be up and running in the next year. This will incorporate Shopify which will be able for us to sell more of our products.

I now attach our Year end accounts for 2023 to 2024, Mrs Cecilia Benoy has kindly once again audited my accounts.
