## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Charitable purposes: 

The purpose of the organisation is to provide recreational facilities and advance the social needs, health and wellbeing of residents of all ages and backgrounds living in the Three towns and surrounding areas, by creating, developing and maintaining a facility, namely a community Shed . Offering opportunities for all in the Three towns area to meet and undertake creative, physical, purposeful and recreational activities of their choice. Reducing social isolation in the area thus contributing to their physical and mental well-being. Developing the capacity of all in the Three towns area to share their skills and knowledge with others in the community. 

## Achievements and Performance 

## Summary of the main achievements of the Charity during the financial year. 

The Shed has now completed the move from Glasgow Street to new premises in Hill Street (still Ardrossan). With the addition of the ladies to our group we have quickly outgrown the space and have found it necessary to secure some additional space in the same building, with the added advantage of giving level access to all but 5% of the space. This is already having an impact as we have seen a small increase in our membership, and we have been able to fulfill some larger commissions in the enlarged space and with the additionally acquired space we are looking to add some new activities to our roster. We have been able to expand the use of our 3D printing skills and knowledge, which thankfully brings in more donations to assist in running the group. We are continuing to discuss opening more days each week although at £30 each day in costs just to open the doors, we need to ensure we have the funding mechanisms in place to allow this to happen. 

The down side of our new premises is that we no longer have the previous advantage of being situated on the main street with a shop window, therefore we are having to rely more on our social media and web site to allow the public to see our finished wares. 

The intention is still to setup training programmes in basic computer use for our members and possibly members of the public, but unfortunately this has been delayed again due to the work involved in getting the new premises fully functional. Work has started on some of these though. 

As we are now with a private landlord, we have dramatically reduced our interface with North Ayrshire Council as we felt they have actively hindered our progress over the last 3 years. We are however now paying commercial rent which has created new stresses, as we attempt to muster the necessary funds to pay this and a never ending upward spiral of energy costs. 

Our major achievements have still been able to assist a few members who were struggling badly with their mental health to reach out and seek suitable help, in addition we are aware that a few of our members may have early onset dementia and we are proud to continue to give them somewhere where they can engage with others, keeping them from succumbing too early, to this dreadful disease. We have also acquired a couple of mobility scooters which we are happy to allow those members who may require their use to borrow them to assist with their mobility challenges. As we start to fully integrate the Men’s and She sheds together we will see what synergies this brings to the whole group.
