CLEVEDON MEN'S SHED

We meet weekly to pursue individual or group projects, mostly enjoyable and useful wood, metalwork or craft. We make small wooden items to raise funds and do outreach projects for other charities. We enjoy our coffee breaks with biscuits and sometimes cakes when we discuss matters of common interest. We say: It's not about the destination but more about the journey. If it's not fun we don't do it!

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
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
