Objectives and activities

Charitable purposes
Summary of the main activities
in relation to these objects		 The purpose of the organisation is to provide recreational facilities and
advance the social needs, health and wellbeing of women of all ages
and backgrounds living in Viewpark and surrounding areas by: 4.1
Creating, developing and maintaining a facility, namely a Womens Shed
4.2 Offering opportunities for women in the Viewpark and surrounding
areas to meet and undertake creative, physical, purposeful and
recreational activities of their choice. 4.3 Reducing Isolation of women in
the area thus contributing to their physical and mental wellbeing. 4.4
Developing the capacity of women in Viewparkand surrounding areas to
share their skills and knowledge with others in the community
The Women’s shed seek to encourage women to have access to projects using
arts & crafts. This includes and is not limited to t-shirt printing, cup printing,
pyrography, sewing, knitting and other projects. This allows us to make items we
can sell and supports the sustainability of the group. We operate in an area
where many of our group members experience poor physical and mental health
and many group members are in unpaid career roles. The group offers a chance
to take a break and learn a new skill. As well as this the group takes into
’
consideration the environment, and whilst helping tackling climate change isnt
our main purpose, everything we do attempts to use old materials that would
typically end up in landfill.

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements
of the charity during the financial
period		 We remained at low capacity due to COVID restrictions and social
distancing. We stayed in touch with our members through telephone,
social media and email. Due to unforeseen circumstances of ill health
and bereavement we have focused our attention on supporting our
members during this difficult year. We enjoyed a visit to an arts & crafts
fair in November. We could not open on both days per week due to
personal circumstances in the group
Our income this year was nil. Expenditure for the year was £1361 or
Equipment & Resources and a withdrawal of £806, which was withdrawn
as we closed our bank account during this year with a view to opening a
new bank account. This proved problematic due to various issues with
banks and signatories, however the balance withdrawn will be paid into
a new account as soon as it is opened. The balance at the end of this
financial year was nil, due to the closure of the bank account.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WOMENS SHED Scottish Charity Number SC050274

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[ST] March 2022 , which are set out on the attached pages

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiners’ statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
