|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|TO PROMOTE SOCIAL INCLUSION FOR<br>THE PUBLIC BENEFIT BY PREVENTING<br>PEOPLE, WITHIN WENDOVER AND THE<br>SURROUNDING AREA, FROM<br>BECOMING SOCIALLY EXCLUDED,<br>RELIEVING THE NEEDS OF THOSE<br>PEOPLE WHO ARE SOCIALLY<br>EXCLUDED AND ASSISTING THEM TO<br>INTEGRATE INTO SOCIETY THROUGH<br>THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES IN<br>WHICH THEY CAN MEET JOINTLY OR<br>INDIVIDUALLY TO UNDERTAKE<br>CREATIVE, PHYSICAL OR<br>RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, LEARN OR<br>PASS ON SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE<br>AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER<br>SOCIALLY. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS<br>CLAUSE 'SOCIALLY EXCLUDED' MEANS<br>BEING EXCLUDED FROM SOCIETY, OR<br>PARTS OF SOCIETY, AS A RESULT OF<br>ONE OF MORE OF THE FOLLOWING<br>FACTORS: UNEMPLOYMENT;<br>FINANCIAL HARDSHIP; YOUTH OR OLD<br>AGE; ILL HEALTH (PHYSICAL OR<br>MENTAL).|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The main activity of Wendover Shed is<br>running a workshop for the public benefit. It<br>is aimed at preventing people, particularly<br>but not exclusively older men, within<br>Wendover and the surrounding area from<br>becoming socially excluded; also to relieve<br>the needs of those people who are socially<br>excluded and to assist them to integrate<br>into society through the provision of these<br>workshop facilities. In the interests of<br>maintaining a safe environment, those<br>enjoying the facilities of the shed are<br>Members.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|Initially when Wendover Shed was set up,<br>the trustees were mainly motivated by the<br>shocking statistic that the main cause of<br>death amongst men under 50 years of age<br>was suicide, with 75% of all suicides in the<br>UK being men. It still shocks us and we<br>know most sheds around the country want<br>to eradicate this statistic. Since we set up<br>two years ago we have collaborated with<br>many other organisations in Wendover<br>ranging from Dementia Support to the<br>Church, from other help groups such as<br>statutory Mental and Physical health trusts,<br>from voluntary transport organisations to<br>Gardening charities, from Parish councils to<br>specials schools. The potential is endless.<br>We can quote from one of our shedders<br>who has been honest in where the shed<br>has helped him - 'If it wasn't for Wendover<br>Shed I wouldn't be here". Despair, isolation<br>and loneliness are real; they affect<br>everybody in different ways as they journey<br>their way through life. The shed has<br>attempted and succeeded with some very<br>special people to make their life more<br>meaningful and wholesome. As a group of<br>volunteers/shedders you can see more<br>happiness, laughter and joy rather than<br>despair and sadness. There is still a lot to<br>do - but collaboration with other community<br>organisations will expand. We all have a<br>duty to look after and help each other.<br>People from different backgrounds have<br>come to visit be it the Lord Lieutenant, ITN<br>News, Chair of Bucks Council, Sec of<br>Wendover Community Board, CEO of Clare<br>Foundation and so the list goes on. Most<br>important though are the shedders - they<br>make things tick! It’s their regular<br>attendance make me think that all the effort<br>is worth it. In one word the charity has<br>given people hope and it is hope that binds<br>us all together|
