For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental).
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The Heart of Pitsea HUB CIO charity was set up to provide retired men and men with poor mental health, a woodworking shed to potter around in, making things for the shed or for home, meeting new people, socialising, and signposting to other local activities and support groups. We hope to be introducing some targeted sessions, women’s hour and intergenerational hour.
We will also be doing some basic digital skills training. Emails, surfing the internet, using Apps.
We run a fortnightly potting group where we tend large planters in Pitsea town. Weeding, removing rubbish, planting donated seeds or bulbs and generally tidying up. This is a social support group where we work together then sit together and have a cuppa and a chat.
We also run a weekly walking group, we meet at the shed, walk over to and around a local park, we sit at the café, have a cuppa and a chat, discuss what other activities are taking place locally should anyone want to attend then walk back to the shed.
All our projects are run by volunteers and FREE for attendees.
We do also have a vegetable patch that has been out of action for some years now, we are hoping to resurrect this in the future.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main The Heart of Pitsea HUB CIO was set up to take over from The Heart of achievements of the charity Pitsea ‘Big Local’ Partnership. during the year The Partnership ran for 12 years and competed many projects in Pitsea. One of the main projects of the Partnership was to build a ‘Men’s Shed’ as it was identified through consultation with residents that there was a need for this service in the area. It took an incredibly long time to get the lease for the land from Basildon Council and start the build of the shed. The Heart of Pitsea ‘Big Local’ Partnership disbanded on 31[st] March 2024 and the Heart of Pitsea HUB CIO took over the remaining projects at this time. The remaining projects are the weekly walking group and the fortnightly potting group, all of which are run without any funds. The continuation of the build for the Men’s Shed remained under the control of the Partnership up until November 2024 when The Heart of Pitsea HUB CIO received their first lot of funding from the Partnership to complete the build and run the project. The Shed is still currently in the build stage and is due to be opened to the public in March 2025. For this period, the only activities we have undertaken are the walking and potting groups and facilitating the completion of the Men’s Shed build.
