HARTLEPOOL MEN'S SHED

To enable men a place to meet others for social contact and to learn new or develop existing skills. Such skills are particularly around woodworking and gardening but the organisation is open to accommodating other disciplines wherever possible. We have now a dedicated day each week to train and assist females in the use of tools and other equipment and to help with their chosen projects.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 8 years
