people aged 18 and over, particularly but not exclusively older
men, within Cannock Chase and the surrounding area, from
becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people
who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to the charity.|Increased membership.
Facilities enhanced. We opened a second premises, at the
Cannock Chase Enterprise Centre, which we moved into during
November 2023. It is a little larger and has a lot more facilities. We
will be able to open on more days, which gives us better working
conditions for members. A decision on whether to keep the
Museum premises open is yet to be discussed.
Equipment stock increased.
Wider range of local community groups supported.
Increase in funding from grants and donations.
More local Community Groups are coming to us for the help we can
offer.| |---|---| ||| |Personal comment from
member|I lost my wife at the beginning of 2022 and later in the year my
inner motivation was declining. I joined the shed at the end of
January 2023 to help try and get back some of that motivation.
The projects I am working on for myself I could carry out at home
but whether I would is a different matter.
I thoroughly enjoy my visits to the Shed, the camaraderie, the chat,
the friendly banter, the help and advice freely given when needed.
The shed has given me something to look forward to and I have
hardly missed a session since I started.
The shed has definitely been a positive step for me.
