What the accounts disclose
“We do not currently carry out any fundraising activities”
“Members agreed, at our last AGM, that we should continue to build up our reserves so that we could have a six to nine month’s buffer towards running costs.”
“The only uncertainty is perhaps our low number of members currently, compared to other Sheds within Yorkshire which limits our ability to increase the number and types of sessions we can run.”
