NEW MILTON MEN'S SHED
We are a group of local people from the town of New Milton and the surrounding parishes and we operate a Mens Shed, which is a community space for men to connect, convers, and create. Members come together to share skills, knowledge, and experiences in order to enrich each other's lives. This is achieved by undertaking creative and practical projects and using the shed as a social networking hub.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The charity reported a surplus for the year and held total net assets of £160,014.90, though the majority of these assets are tied up in fixed assets like the leasehold building rather than liquid reserves. The Trustees designated £5,035.49 as an operational reserve to provide financial resilience against unexpected expenditure or income interruptions. The accounts were subject to an independent financial inspection which concluded that the funds were very well administered.
