It has a growing membership with 72 members as at 31 March 2025. Fortnightly social meetings on a Monday afternoon started in August 2024 in the cafe area of the Scout Centre, and in March 2025 they moved to The Lighthouse Christian Centre due to increasing numbers of members attending the meetings. The meetings enable men to socialise over a tea or coffee and and hear from guest speakers including - Prostate Scotland, - Scottish Men’s Shed Association, - Fishermen’s Mission, - Troon Community Council, - Troon 41 Club NHS Ayrshire and Arran ran an ageing well Functional Fitness MOT at a meeting where 24 men were were tested for blood pressure, balance, hand grip strength, flexibility of reach, upper shoulder flexibility and then had a discussion with an NHS Occupational Therapist about their results. Visits have taken place to UPM Caledonian Paper Mill and the Scottish Maritime museum in Irvine. Our members have volunteered to help out at community events in Troon; Wintertainment, Troon Round Table Fireworks and Santa Float. We are very grateful to the organisations that have provided grants and donations: - South Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership - Troon Community Council, - Troon Round Table  Troon 41 Club  Ayrshire Ukulele Clan  Hillhouse Group  UPM Caledonian Paper Mill  Co-op Local Community Fund During the period Troon Men’s Shed has sought to obtain suitable premises to enable social and practical activities to be undertaken, and in Autumn 2024 the former Hosiery Park Pavilion in Brodie Avenue, which is owned by South Ayrshire Council, was identified as a possible building. A Stage 1 Community Asset Transfer Request was submitted to South Ayrshire Council in November 2024 and work is underway to prepare a Stage 2 Request and obtain funding to enable the building to be purchased and developed into a Men’s Shed. The acquisition of the Hosiery Park Pavilion will enable us to meet more regularly and undertake practical workshop activities which we are unable to do in a hired meeting hall. ## **Financial review** |**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**
