ALTON MEN'S SHED

Alton Men's Shed is equipped with a range of tools, materials and a social area, in which mainly retired men can socialise and make things for themselves & for local charities & voluntary organisations. Additionally, we undertake projects in the community through liaison with care homes & other local charity management teams. Member's experience & skills are shared to motivate each other on tasks.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
