OSCR report for year ended 31st August 2025
During the year we continued our involvement with the local community, including:
Managing the monthly Farmers’ and Produce market
Managing the annual Folk Festival campsite
Participating at the annual Fee’in Market, Beer Fest and Harbour Festival
Constructed outdoor furniture for a local Additional Support Needs children charity
Refurbished outdoor furniture for two local care homes
Refurbished gazebo at local community hospital
Managed and maintained the polytunnel at local Academy
Created trophies and promotional material for local sport events and charity
Opened our Men’s Shed to ‘working men’ on evenings over winter for hobby and creative purposes
Involved in a project to refurbish Town Hall storage shed
A special award received by one of our members from Lord Lieutenant for community service
Highlight of the year was the realisation of benefits and efficiency of our alternative energy system, consisting of air source heat pumps and solar panels with battery storage. This system, installed in 2024, has resulted in notable energy efficiencies also significant cost and environmental benefits. In 2025 to August, 68% of our electrical consumption has been from solar and battery. Effectively ‘free’ electricity. Surplus is exported to the grid, providing revenue
Bicycle refurbishment, for onward sale, continues to provide benefit and income
On going maintenance and decoration within the Shed continues. The external cladding of the building was completely repainted during the summer. A substantial but necessary task
With technology advances we have further improved our laser engraving facilities, enabling training and proving to be an interesting hobby for members, particularly members who are less mobile. Also, our very creative CNC, Computer Numerical Control, group goes from strength to strength
Our prosthetic limbs recycling initiative with Rotary continues but has reduced this year due to supply issues. We provided refurbished prosthetics to the Bristol based charity, STAND, formerly Legs4Africa. Our contribution to this cause enabled prosthetics to be delivered to sub-Saharan African countries
Over this year we saw a growth in the Shed bank account along with our asset holding. Our asset register holds the detail. There is a separate ringfenced contingency, interest-bearing account. This fund primary objective is to cover any potential large expenditure as well as our obligation to return the premises to its original condition on completion of our lease
Membership remains strong with continued participation in activities both in the Shed and in the community while the more passive members in the social area continue to achieve the primary objective of providing a place to relax and

find friendship away from isolation at home. Our aim is to further increase membership and use of our facility with additional opening to encourage participation. Also third party use once our terms and conditions for community let is developed
We also endeavour to take part in occasional group activities such as bowling and external visits to places of interest. This is to enhance the members experiences, for wellbeing and social purposes
