HOUNSLOW MEN'S SHED

HMS is an independant local charity, operating under the umbrella of Men's Sheds Uk, who run workshops where members can undertake practical engineering and craft activities within a social environment to avoid issues of social isolation and depression.

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 including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

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
