WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2020

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Regional Association for the year ended 31 December 2020.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Nationally Girlguiding enables girls and young women to develop their potential and to make a difference to the world.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Girlguiding is a leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. We build girls’ confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their potential and encourage them to be positive members of society. We give girls the space to have fun, form friendships and have adventures. As a national organisation Girlguiding has nearly half a million members, including trained leaders.

Girlguiding Wiltshire South shares the same aims as Girlguiding nationally and is committed to providing opportunities for all members to develop into good role models for the future and to positively contribute to the community and the environment locally, in the UK and the wider world.

The Association provides a balanced programme of activities. All members from 5-25 are encouraged to develop mentally, physically and spiritually through the Girlguiding programme. In setting our objectives and activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

ORGANISATION

The Wiltshire South County Guide Association is a separately constituted branch of The Guide Association, which is incorporated by Royal Charter. It is registered as a charity (charity registration number 1028202). It has an operating name of Wiltshire South Guides.

It is situated within the South West Region and is split into five Divisions. Each County Division has a Commissioner who is responsible for the organisation and development in her own area. Commissioners are supported by the Executive Committee which meets regularly. The Trustees are the voting members of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee are Trustees of the Association. Policies on guiding initiatives and activities are implemented by delegation from County, through to Division, District and finally Unit level. The County is led by one County Commissioner with the support of the Executive Committee members.

The County has 2,330 girls who are supported by 431 adult members and recognised volunteers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2020

REVIEW OF 2020

The results for the year and the financial position of the Regional Association are as shown in the annexed financial statements.

Up until March 2020 Wiltshire South Guiding had been looking forward to so much – each Division planning and organizing another Division Day, a County PGL Guide weekend, County Camp Fires, Overnights, International and Region ICE trips, Leaders get together, Commissioner Training days and the start of planning a County 'It's a County Bake Off'. Our County Activity Centre, Berwick St James, lost bookings because of the closer due to COVID-19. All units that had bookings for camps or residentials were refunded their deposits and County were successful in applying for the Government COVID grant sum of £10,000. The Government grant assisted with refunding of booking deposits and ongoing monthly maintenance bills.

Throughout 2020 Girlguiding took on a new look. Zoom became the 'buzz' word for both leaders and their young members. The County Executive members continued to support those leaders who were unable to consider weekly meetings by keeping in regular contact, advising that it needed to be a leader's decision to manage wht they felt able to cope with. A Thank You badge and card was sent to every member in the County as a way of acknowledging the difficult COVID period. Our young members and Leaders took part in their guiding uniform to show their support for members of the NHS by standing weekly on their front door steps clapping and cheering along with thousands of others in the country. Truly an unprecedented time in the history of Girlguiding.

Each month throughout 2020 there had been speculation to hear from the Government and the NYA that Girlguiding could start to meet again rather than by zoom. The words 'lockdown' and 'social distancing' and the wearing of masks to many of us became part of everyday life. Eventually Girlguiding announced that units would be able to return to face to face outdoor meetings only but in order to do this Risk Assessments had to be in place and signed off by Commissioners. In order to support District Commissioners with Risk Assessment queries the Division and County became involved. The County handed the responsibility back to District Commissioners in September 2021 once they were reassured that all Commissioners felt confident.

Many members have been disappointed that international trips at both Unit and Region level have had to be cancelled or postponed. One such unit trip has now become a County international trip for 2022 and it is fully booked. Another trip that will hopefully go ahead in 2022 will be the INTOPS trip being organized by the joint International Adviser of North and South Wiltshire who has managed to keep the interest of all those girls selected and organized a joint badge activity to raise money.

South West Region Girlguiding has enabled Safe Space and First Response Trainings to be provided via zoom ensuring that all leaders have been able to keep 'indate' with their mandatory trainings. The County have an excellent First Aid Adviser who has been able to provide the practical element of the First Response training as soon as COVID guidelines have permitted.

The County Executive provided Risk Assessment Training and one to one zoom calls to support units. Sample Risk Assessments were also provided. The Executive met with District Commissioners via zoom and sent regular updates from County and Region to ensure that members were kept up to date with how Girlguiding was managing during such a difficult time.

Due to being unable to hold meetings and collect termly subscriptions, many units found themselves unable to meeting the annual National subscription. County Finance arranged a loan system from County funds to ensure that Girlguiding subscription invoices would be paid on time and that County would not incur any penalty. Some units accepted this offer and realized that they needed to look at their unit budgeting for future years.

WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2020

REVIEW OF 2020 (continued)

Berwick

The County received no income from bookings during 2019/20 due to the pandemic. The County Executive decided that due to the pandemic any of the recommendations from the Surveyor's Report which was produced on the recommendation of the County Executive would need to be put on hold until at least 2022 as it was unclear when the pandemic would enable Berwick to be reopened and income from bookings to be generated again. The grounds have continued to be maintained by an outside contractor, concreting to make pathways safe around the building has been completed and the Water Board has been involved in looking at drains and causes of water collection at the front of the building.

A long strategic plan for the Centre now needs to be considered and how best the building can be used.

PLANS FOR 2021 AND BEYOND

Appointments of new County Commissioner by Region and possibly three new Division Commissioners appointed by County are currently in hand.

Units are to ensure that they have completed adequate budgeting for their individual units.

New appointments are to be considered by the County: Walking Adviser, Adult Leader Qualification Adviser, OAA Team, and Bookings Clerk for Berwick. The County Facebook will also need a new web master as the present manager of the site will resign at the end of the year.

New constitutions for the County and for Berwick are to be created for the next five years. Consideration is also to be given to the future of the Friends of Berwick.

Management growth and retention and waiting lists will need to be given priority in the County in order for Girlguiding to continue to grow and flourish in Wiltshire South. Consideration is also to be given to possibly joining Wiltshire South and Wiltshire North together in order to share expertise and facilities. This element will be a huge part of the next 5 year Strategic Plan, and an appointment will be made in the County in order to head up a team working across the County.

WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2020

APPOINTMENTS AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES

All Trustees are appointed by the County Commissioner in consultation with the County Executive Committee. During 2020 there has been zoom training made available as and when required. It is anticipated that in 2021/22 Commission Training face to face indoors will take place and the County will begin to move forward again.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to operations and finances and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to major risks. The County are investing in a full independent Surveyors report for Berwick Girguiding Centre to look at the long term strategic plan for the Centre and how best the building can be used.

GRANT MAKING POLICIES

Grants are not awarded to non-guiding organisations. From time to time the Association will make a grant to its members. All members are welcome to submit an application. The decision is delegated to the Finance Committee and is based on the circumstances of the application and its merit.

RESERVES

The policy of Girlguiding Wiltshire South is to hold liquid reserves to cover one year’s operating expenses.

The free reserves of the Association at 31 December 2020 amounted to £143,803 (2019: £136,433).

WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2020

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Association and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Association and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report was approved by the Trustees and signed on its behalf by: Francis Westlake

Date: 13[th] October 2021

WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which are set out on pages 9 to 21.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: o To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and o To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

Have not been met; or

  1. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

Tangible fixed assets

Expenditure on fixed assets is capitalised except for expenditure incurred on the replacement of assets of low value with a short life. Repair, renovation and replacement expenditure is written off as expenditure in the statement of financial activities. The cost of fixed assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual values, over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:

Freehold property - see below Furniture and equipment - 25% straight line

Freehold land is not depreciated. Buildings are depreciated at a rate of 2% per annum on a straight line basis.

All fixed assets acquired whether purchased or donated are capitalised. Assets donated in the past have not necessarily been capitalised.

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged on a time basis over the lease term.

Donations and fund accounting

Donations received for the general purpose of the Charity are included as unrestricted funds. Donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to ‘restricted funds’ where these wishes are legally binding on the Trustees. The Trustees may set aside funds as being designated for particular purposes. These funds are shown as designated funds within the reserves.
