Salisbury Mens’ Shed
27 March 2024
Annual Report
Since the formal registration of the Shed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in May 2023 the trustees have had four meetings. We’ve focussed on
-
Reviewing the Safeguarding and Health & Safety policies
-
How to provide more to support members
-
Financial reserves policy (which is now set at £700)
Thanks to the hard work of the officers and members, and the generous support of Alabare, it is clear the Shed is well established and meeting current members’ needs.
The officers and members have worked hard to achieve continued success in helping the group to prosper, our trustees are playing a vital role in overseeing our structure and supporting positive developments. As always, we are indebted to Alabare for their continued support in providing our premises and such a friendly environment to work in.
The year has been marked by having completed several projects including shelving for Alabare shop, fencing and bench restoration for Army Air Museum, rocking horses for sale, tree for St Thomas’s Tree festival along, bird boxes for Pinewood Way along with some smaller jobs.
Membership is stable with some longstanding members and some new additions although there have also been several comings and goings especially around those people who are finding life challenging. The membership is totally made up of retired people and so having members with health and welfare needs means that there are increasing support needs including those who are no longer able to attend but value contact.
The big question for any organisation relates to its future aims and intentions, one of which will simply be to keep going but unless there is development and change organisations tend to remain static. New members, new leaders, and change will be essential if the shed is to prosper over the next few years.
