Crewe Men in Sheds CIO, No 1196566 Treasurers Report 2024 / 2025

I am happy to announce that we started the year 2024 with a healthy balance in the Bank, this being £40350.97, we ended the year with a balance of £40372.35

This obviously again gave us the start to know where we needed to be in this coming year and to continue to grow.

I will continue to be stringent with monies spent and funding applications to ensure the continuation of the shed beyond this year and to continue for years to come. We continue to look at where we can improve the shed to the benefits of our members.

We ensure that the monies in the bank will be assurance that we have in the event of Cheshire East selling off the Business Centre (rumours circulating due to their financial state) to be able to move and transfer all the machinery etc to suitable premises. We are in a position that looking to move would really not be feasible due to the location of the shed, car parking facilities etc so we hope that this does not happen.

The shed itself continues to thrive with new members joining, although the subs raised each month do not go anywhere paying the rent, utilities etc. Cheshire East have now informed us yet again they will increase the rent to £631.00 in April. We continue to look for support from various sources via Donations etc. People and companies have been more than happy to help us. I have applied for funding from various sources but will not hear from these until the next financial year. Again, 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 and we really appreciate all of their help.

..

The container we purchased has now been sited, insulated and electrics fitted so is now in use, to this we can now start on the next stage of our development of moving the kitchen into the old paint room making it a far more hygienic area for our members. We do have more plans for the improvement and have put funding bids into help with these. As last year sales from Armed Forces Day and our Pop-up stall helped in raising money. And we will again do these events next year. The website is now up and running (Crewemeninsheds.org.uk ) thanks to a local company who has designed this for us and updates it as well. Our Facebook page (Crewe Men in Sheds / Crewe Shedders) continues to help in highlighting things we do and brings revenue and help for us. We are so pleased with the good name we have in the community with 1300 people now following us on Facebook. We continue to go out in the community to do presentations to highlight the good work of the shed also getting involved with local community hubs shared with other charities.

Crewe Men in Sheds CIO, No 1196566 Treasurers Report 2024 / 2025

We lost two trustees this year but appointed a replacement who has been a godsend in helping in making products to sell and looking at ways to improve the shed and make money with us.

We had all trustees put on a First Aid Course along with a few of our Female members, we appointed a Fire Marshal (who contuse to do well) and had him trained to do this efficiently, the fire Brigade they came to look at the shed were happy with what we had done since we took over to ensure we comply with regulations, putting more fire extinguishers in place especially one in the Kitchen area along with a fire blanket that was never there before we took over.

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 continue to get referrals from community centres, doctor surgeries, health authorities etc. We try not to turn anyone away if they need our help but as we state on our paperwork we care but unfortunately, we are not carers.

Next year we hopefully will be able to write about the new kitchen area and if the funding applications are passed more alterations to the shed along with new additions of machinery.

I now attach our Year end accounts for 2024 to 2025, Mrs Cecilia Benoy has kindly once again audited my accounts. I also attach our latest PowerPoint presentation which has been updated and refreshed
