Objectives and Activities
It is often said that men in our society don’t talk about feelings and emotions. Many do not take an interest in their own health and well-being. Unlike women, men are often reluctant to talk about their emotions, which mean that they can have great difficulty in asking for help. Possibly because of this, many men are less healthy than women of a similar age, drink more alcohol, take greater risks and suffer more from isolation, loneliness and depression. Marriage breakdown, widowhood, redundancy or retirement from a job, loss of contact with children following divorce, physical or mental illness are just some of the problems that men may find difficult to deal with on their own.
Good health is based on many factors including feeling good about yourself, being productive, contributing to your community, connecting with friends and maintaining an active body and mind. Being in our shed will give you a safe environment where you will find an atmosphere of supportive camaraderie. There is no pressure. You can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all you're looking for. Members of our Shed come from all walks of life. The bond that unites us is that is men with time on their hands and would like something positive and meaningful to do with that time.

Trustee Recruitment and Appointment
The first trustees were elected at a public meeting arranged to discuss the possibility of setting up a Men’s Shed in the Insch area, following the discovery that Aberdeenshire Council had a disused school building the they wished to dispose of to save money. Part of the school had been used by a wood-turning group several years previously, and it was some of the members of this group who formed the initial core of the Shed membership.
The initial trustees were essentially volunteers, who were approved by those present at the first meetings. As the first year of the Shed progressed some of the original trustees resigned, and replacement and additional trustees invited to join the Board from the membership, based on their known skills and experience in similar roles elsewhere. These new trustees were approved by other members during regular, if informal, meetings. Their continued membership of the Board will be voted on at the Annual General Meeting.
No external organisations have been involved in the appointment of trustees.
The current Board of Trustees comprises a wide range of skills and experience. There are former professional engineers with experience of managing small companies and projects; builders and carpenters with not only their trade skills but also experience in organising how jobs should be safely and effectively performed and the operation of powered machinery. There are also members with experience in applying for grants and similar funding to help the Shed progress and develop its capabilities; people experience in working in other charitable organisations who “know the ropes” regarding our legal obligations.
Achievements and Performance
Insch Leslie and District Men’s Shed have held weekly sessions to allow our members to meet. These meeting have served many strategic purposes: they have allowed all members steer the trustee board in the way they would like the shed to operate; allowed safe spaces to discuss issues impacting or affecting members; given members a reason to get out of their home and meet others. For many of our members, this is their only activity away from their home, with many members particularly looking forward to their weekly gathering.

We also have organised several other sessions out-with the normal weekly sessions, especially when performing project work.
Some of the activities we have completed are:
- A new coffee bar manufactured, delivered and installed at the Bennachie Leisure Centre (also a charity). Feedback comments have been “WOW; Exactly what we required”; “a professional service”. This bar was manufactured with recycled materials, the only ‘new’ items were screws, varnish and sealant. This drives our agenda in the re-use of materials whenever possible.
==> picture [454 x 521] intentionally omitted <==
10
- Design, manufacture and deliver a ‘mud kitchen’ for the Insch Nursery. Again, recycled materials were used to manufacture this item. The feedback from the nursery leaders is very complimentary and the new facility is allowing much more interaction between those using it.
==> picture [464 x 340] intentionally omitted <==
- We also assembled and weatherproofed a large summer house from a kit for the Insch Nursery, providing them with considerable additional “activity space” for the children attending the nursery. We had to do some quick design and improvisation work to produce an additional support structure for the building as the location required by the manager of the nursery was on a slope. We then enclosed the gap under the building to prevent balls (and children) from going underneath.
11
==> picture [414 x 275] intentionally omitted <==
-
We have, at the request of the executors, cleared large quantities of rubbish, materials and equipment from a farm after the former owner’s estate had been settled. This has provided us with substantial stocks of wood that we are using in other projects, storage shelving for use at the Old School, plus goods and materials we have been able to sell to raise funds both directly and through a local auction house (which is also a charity) and a local antiques shop.
-
We’ve helped several families in tidying up their properties, clearing out sheds, etc.
-
We’re acquired several woodworking machines which were deemed obsolete and we plan to utilise these in our Shed once we take ownership of the building and can upgrade the electrical system.
-
Each of the above activities have been led by different members of the shed and it allows them to ‘project manage’ activities, giving them a sense of purpose and achievement.
Financial Review
Starting from nothing, ILDMS has been successful during its first year of existence in generating more than sufficient funds to allow it to operate to the benefit and enjoyment of its members. This has been achieved by a variety of means: -
-
Small donations by the members attending the weekly meetings.
-
A very successful raffle, based in the Co-op Store in Insch.
-
Project work for the local community, in return for which they have made donations above the costs incurred.
12
-
The sale of goods made by members.
-
The sale of goods, equipment and materials that have been donated to the Shed by companies and members of the local community, or brought from the farm (as above).
-
Grants and other donations made to the Shed by charitable organisations who wish to support our endeavours.
-
Sponsorship through a scheme called “Buy a Brick”, in which sponsors will get a plaque on the wall of the Shed of a given size relating to the amount they donate.
These means we have raised a total £7,932 during the financial year 1/7/24 to 30/6/25.
Expenditure has been relatively low to date, with the purchase of tools, safety equipment and materials (some of which was reimbursed through project work), together with insurance being the major items. The total was £1,614, resulting in a surplus for the year of £6,318.
We are working towards acquiring the Old School building that is our meeting place through a Community Asset Transfer (CAT), which will involve us in considerable expense for Structural Survey, legal fees and repairs and improvements to what is an old and somewhat neglected building. We also need to buy a range of equipment to allow us to work in a healthier and more comfortable and energy efficient environment. Such activities will all involve considerable expenditure, so any current surplus and future fundraising will be essential.
Statement of the Charity’s Policy on Reserves
Our policy on holding cash reserves is that substantial expenditure will be required in the future, especially when we get ownership of the building, so the accumulation of a suitable reserve now is highly desirable. This will allow us to pay for e.g. a structural survey of the building before we get too far along the CAT process, so that if something catastrophic is discovered we can avoid being irretrievably committed to taking ownership. A suitable reserve also allows us to take advantage of “special offers” or other discounts on some of the machinery we wish to purchase.
More specifically, our reserves policy in the first 3 years of operation is to be 6 months of operating costs. Within 5 year we plan to have 12 months of operating costs in reserve. We also plan to eventually build an additional “restricted fund” to the value of 2 years of operating costs for emergency repairs due to the age of the building, the location of the road and Gadie Burn, and the trees around the site.
At some future date, we hope to obtain major funding for modifications to the building, e.g. replacing all of the windows, installing a more efficient and effective heating system and a centralised dust extraction system. If such funds are provided in advance of the work, and the work runs beyond a single financial year,
13
consideration will be given to setting up a Reserve account at our bank so that specifically assigned funds can be kept separate from general funds, and gain some interest.
Details of any Deficit
To date, there has not been any deficit in the Shed’s funds. It is an agreed policy amongst the trustees that we do not purchase anything unless we have sufficient funds in hand to pay for it outright.
There may come a time at some future date that we wish to make a large purchase which would exceed available funds, e.g. additional land or another building. This would have to involve a structured loan or mortgage, and no doubt the lender would have to be assured that we would have sufficient steady income to repay such a loan. However, such is pure speculation at this point in time.
Donated Facilities and Services
During the first year of ILDMS operation, we have been allowed free use of the Old School building by Aberdeenshire Council, and have not been charged for electricity or water. The building has a septic tank, so there would be no charge for sewerage.
Considerable amounts of materials, equipment and other goods have been donated to ILDMS over the year. These range across timber, furniture, old mowers and other garden equipment, woodworking machinery, paint, old farm equipment, electrical goods, steel frames and shelving, luggage scales, tools antique and modern and whiskey barrels (empty). Some of this material has been put to use in the Shed (once we ensured that it is safe), or used to make things we can use or sell. Some have been purchased by members or sold out-with our membership, having been repaired or checked for safety, as appropriate.
The only services that have been donated are those of a local accountant verifying the trustees at the time when we were setting up our bank account, and someone examining our accounts at the end of the financial year.
Future Plans
We plan to consolidate and grow our membership base and enhance the experience we offer to our members at our regular sessions, both in the Shed environment and the range of activities we offer them to partake in.
We will continue to offer our skills and services to the community through local organisations, be it helping youth organisations, community organisations or individuals.
Our Community Asset Transfer (CAT) will be progressed and submitted to Aberdeenshire Council to allow us to take ownership of the Old School,
14
Leslie. Once we have control of the building, we will be in a position to start meaningful repair and maintenance and enhancement of the facility. A priority item will be rewiring and upgrading the electrical distribution system in the building.
We currently have a number of projects for the local community either in progress or waiting to be stared. These include:-
-
Building an outside bar shack for a local nursing home, using reclaimed timber.
-
Refurbishing benches for the Insch Bowling Club.
-
Supplying logs and kindling to pensioners around the Insch area using scrap or storm-damaged timber and demolished fencing (respectively).
-
Clearing several sheds/garages of their contents for widows about to move house.
-
Making house signs.
-
Helping the local Cubs make bird boxes for their Handyman Badges.
Additional information
At our first Annual General Meeting, the Chairman expressed his sincere thanks to the Trustees in achieving the above objectives. In this, our start-up year, we have developed into a team having had little previous experience of organising a Men’s Shed at the outset. Team spirit and expertise have developed hugely over the period, in particular with the increase in the number of Trustees to share duties.
