FROME MEN'S SHED 

The Frome Shed offers a work space where people from Frome and the surrounding area work on practical projects with others. The space is equipped with tools & materials donated by the public or local businesses. The club is run by members who decide when they come & what they do. We undertake projects, acceptable to the group, which benefit individuals, other groups & the broader community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
