Salisbury Men’s Shed AGM
21 January 2026
Trustees’ Report
Since the last AGM in January 2025 Denis Casey has formally ceased to be a Trustee and so the Trustee committee now consists of Jo King, Rod Gothard and Ken Howard. Work is underway to recruit one or two new trustees to the committee.
It is clear that the John and the management committee supported by Duncan, Julie and Neil do a wonderful job managing the day to day running of the Shed and enabling its eMective and safe operation.
In 2025 the Shed made many notable achievements in terms of projects delivered,
getting a grant for the extraction equipment, acquiring, transporting and setting up the “back of the lorry” container as an extra workshop, and opening on an additional morning.
Thanks to the hard work of the oMicers, members, and volunteers, and the generous support of Alabare, it is clear the Shed is solvent, well established and meeting current members’ needs; and for 2026 it now has capacity to oMer its benefits to more new members.
