The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people, particularly but not exclusively older men, within the local area of Ceredigion, north Pembrokeshire and northwest Carmarthenshire, from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through the provision of facilities in which they can meet jointly or individually to undertake creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge and support each other socially. For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental).' ## **Significant activities** CardiShed is a volunteer run charity which is helping to build a resilient and inclusive community through creativity. We have a carpentry machine shop and greenwood workshop open to anyone aged over 18. We are an inclusive nonjudgemental organisation where everyone is made to feel welcome. Our participants come from southern Ceredigion, northern Carmarthenshire and northeastern Pembrokeshire. Our initial impetus was to support older and isolated men, responding to the high suicide rate locally. We have since developed to become an active and inclusive Community Shed, offering women's workshops and young people's craft projects. We work in partnership with other organisations, including Hafan Hedd (mental health support), Futureworks Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion Nature Partnership, Area 43 (youth charity) and Clynfyw Care Farm, to ensure we are providing an inclusive and supportive project for all members of our community. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. During the last year the Trustees, Committee and Staff at CardiShed have worked within the guidance of the Charity Commission. We have and will continue to work for the public benefit of Cardigan and surrounding area. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** ## **Registered Charity number** 1208379 Page 1 Docusign Envelope ID: FC097AAE-4A4E-4BF5-8FF7-E46D7B1D1E4E ## **CARDISHED** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD 23RD MAY 2024 TO 31ST MARCH 2025** **Principal address** Timber Yard Mwldan Queens Terrace Cardigan Ceredigion SA43 1LJ ## **Trustees** S Cooper (appointed 23.5.24) Ms S Evans (appointed 20.11.24) Ms H O'Sullivan (appointed 20.11.24) A Evans (appointed 23.5.24) F Luckman (appointed 23.5.24) T Breddal (appointed 23.5.24) **Independent Examiner** Llyr James Chartered Certified Accountants and Registered Auditors 25 Bridge Street Carmarthen SA31 3JS 05-12-2025 Approved by order of the board of trustees on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by: ......................................................................

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. ## **Expenditure** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **Going concern** The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to carry on operating as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate.
