Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Men in Sheds Brigg is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), governed by its Constitution (Foundation Model). The organisation was registered with the Charity Commission on 31 October 2022.

Operatonal Informaton

The Trustees form the executive committee of the charity, elected at the Annual General Meeting by members. All trustees are initially appointed for a two-year period.

The charity operates with a minimum of three trustees. There is currently an upper limit of twelve trustees.

All Trustees are provided with the Charity Commissions “Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees”, the Constitution and in future years, the financial statements and Annual Report.

Any training required by the trustees may be requested at any point, where it is considered useful to their role.

The board of trustees manages the charity and considers strategic decisions at its meetings.

Development meetings are held to inform, and receive insight from, members and volunteers as required. These also include potential referrers into the shed. Any conflicts of interest are declared and recorded.

Day to day running of the charity will be undertaken by trustees, volunteers and members via the development meetings.

Objectve

The objective of the Charity remains;

“To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing adults, not exclusively men, in Brigg, from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of people who are socially excluded and helping them to integrate into society by providing facilities in which they can meet to undertake creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills, knowledge and support each other.”

Actvites, Performance and Achievements

Physical Locaton

It has been necessary to move our shed to another part of the Brigg Town Football Club site.

The original shed building was taken down in February 2025 and relocated on unused ground besides the football club car park.

The size of the plot enabled the charity to purchase an add on cabin to replace the football clubs shared storage container which had to be scrapped in the redevelopment.

Operaton and Funding

The charity has continued to run 3 sessions per week during rebuilding and renovations. It is anticipated that more sessions will run when additional trustees and volunteers are in place and trained.

The charity still promotes and sells on Brigg local markets and at local events. Proceeds from markets are the sheds highest source of new members and of earnings, followed closely by grant funding.

It is hoped that market success will continue including more shed-made items.

Grants

Our grant from Singleton Birch (2023/2024) has not yet been fully spent as priority has been getting the relocated shed running. The remainder of tools and supplies which is the grant’s purpose will be bought during 2025/26.

At the end of December 2024, Humber & Wolds Rural Action received confirmation of 2 years’ funding for the shed from the National Lottery sustainability bid.

To date (1 November 2025) the charity has used year 1 funds and part of year 2 funds to cover rent, utilities, groundworks & repairs. This leaves approximately £4,000 for use in the 2025/26 reporting year.

In early 2025 the charity applied for and was granted £865 by Wressle Oil Community Fund to enable works to be carried out whilst rebuilding the original shed.

Financial Review

The charity has a financial policy in place and, due to the cash-based nature of much of its income, has an applied petty cash policy.

Plans for future years

There is a definite need for more trustees in the long term and we will seek volunteers from shedders and general publicity.

The charity plans to increase membership and fundraising to ensure sustainability after the end of the lottery funding.
