During 2021 the shed continued its activities when possible. Several members continued to
construct and repair outdoor furniture items in our workplace, including bird tables,
benches, feeders and children's play items. In July we had a successful outing to Cushendun.
County Antrim. A total of 13 people travelled by coach and we visited a craft museum at
Glenravel, then went on to have lunch in Cushendun. We were happy that our beneficiaries
benefitted from these activities and the charity received quite a lot of positive feedback
from the community as a result.
There continues to be no private gain to any individual member.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities for the year the trustees have
given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's
guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities have helped to achieve the
charity's purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries.
