THE NEWENT AND DISTRICT MEN'S SHED 

We provide a safe place tools and equipment for people to come and share skills or just to come and have a cup of tea to alleviate loneliness.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
