APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance Summary of tho maln achlevements ot 2024 has been a very busy year for the Shed. Our achievements this year the charfty durlng tho financial period has seen a thus on improving our ¢afbon footprint by installing rooftop solar panels with battery storage which has also reduced our energy costs. We have also changed OLtI the main building lighting to LED to further reduce our energy consumption and built an insulated enclosure to protect our water storage and boiler which had been affected by the previous winter freezing temperatu$. Another major proje¢t has been the joint project with the Primary School next door where we fvnded the installation of 80sq.m poly-tunnel with internal planting systems that will provide our members with expanded seNi¢es and create a multigenerational educational resource to enable the teaching staff to all(Iw their young students to leam about growing and the food cycle. We also needed to replace our old van which had reached its end of life with a better van which was a significant cost but ha¥ proved its worth. conb'nue to work with local community groups su¢h as Gommunity councils and Rotary Club enabling some of them to use our premises for meetings, crafting groups and coffee mornings. We have expanded our support of local nurseries and schools making a variety of play items for them. Our main funding resources this year came from Ihe Aberdeen Stltdents Show, Aberdeen Airport, NESCAN and our last payment from the Aberdeen Common Good Fund. Although the Farmers Market project continues to generate reasonable frJnds every month there has been some issves with trader communi110n$ and the committe8 has decided lo undertake all ofthe organisats.on and running of the market in 2025. Financial review BTlef Statement of th• charity's poll¢y on reserves Our policy on reserves is to ensure there is adequate funds to cover our risks and provide our members to gain the benefits of friendship and social inleraction to redu social isolation whilst making a positive contribution to our local aa. Wlh our new premise5 being the full responsibility of ourselves as we have no landlord to take on the responsibility of the building and adIant areas there is greater exposure to potential higher e05ts for building maintenanee. insuranca, energy costs and unexpected events. Our poliw on reseNes remains unchanged for the period ahead. We estimate that for the next 5 year period we should maintain a reserve of £45k. There is a deffcit this year of £13.524 which is mainly due the installation of rooftop solar panels and battery system. We were unsLtccessful in our application to th¢ Lottery Fund for this projert but agreed to proed as there were funds from previous years and the benefits of future energy savings and lowering our carbon footprint was an important outcome.
