WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Regional Association for the year ended 31 December 2021.

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 1,318 girls who are supported by 471 adult members and recognised volunteers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2021

REVIEW OF 2021

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

A very difficult year for all our members due to the continued restrictions imposed by Covid-19. Berwick, our County HQ building temporarily closed its doors to visitors. Only essential maintenance and regular inspection of the site were carried out by named persons whilst so many lockdowns, rules and restrictions were being instigated by the Government. The County Executive Committee felt it prudent to shut the site in order to protect our vulnerable members and also it would be onerous to police and cleanse the site after each booking. In the late quarter of the year a small number of bookings were taken as restrictions lifted and leaders were keen to return to normal and enjoy time away with their younger members but strict ratios had to be adhered to in order to provide a safe space for all taking Covid-19 into account.

Overseas travel was again halted from previous years, plans would hopefully be ignited again in 2022. Much of Girlguidings trainings, conferences and meetings took place via zoom – which was now becoming the norm. Ingenious ways were thought up in order to interact and still get that personal experience. GGUK secured a Zoom account which was widely distributed to any units or committees that desired it, enabling units to continue meeting virtually.

Most units started to return to face to face meetings where their meeting place allowed in the Autumn. Some units were unable to return to their normal place as many schools banned external organisations from visiting and some other meeting places similarly placed very restrictive use on users of their facilities. Mask wearing was mandatory for anyone over the age of 10, handwashing and sanitisation was regularly carried out. Cleaning down of all equipment used at the end of meetings and social distancing made the usual games and crafts a challenge. Some units unfortunately did not escape Covid and messages regularly went out that the leader or younger members had contracted covid and therefore the meeting was cancelled for this week at least. Risk Assessments (RA) were the new norm for units, everything being signed off by the Commissioner; indoor, outdoor, building and activity RA’s were added to the workload for our volunteers.

The County Executive were acutely aware that many units would struggle to meet their annual National subscription payment in Feb 2021 as they had not been able to collect unit subscriptions from their members, County offered interest free loans to any unit needing help, repayable by the end of 2021. 15 out of 144 units applied to County for this and we were delighted to help them all. All except 1, which has now sadly closed, repaid the interest free loan.

WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS GIRLGUIDING WILTSHIRE SOUTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2021

PLANS FOR 2022 AND BEYOND

County Exec considered how units could be supported for the 2022 subscription and all agreed that any unit could apply for a grant payment from County of one member, a total of £38.50 per person. This was warmly received by our members and applications were received for payment in 2022 financial year.

The current County Commissioners term of 5 years finished in November 2021 and replacement(s) were sought. A team of 3 ladies agreed to caretake this role for a 12 month period with a Region commissioner overseeing the appointed commissioners. In addition a marketing/communications person was appointed. The team are working well together and splitting duties; leadership, compliance & development between them.

Units have been encouraged to review their budgets to make sure they can afford annual subscriptions going forward, now expected to be a minimum of £50+.

The pandemic has affected our Management Growth and Retention and many units are struggling to enrol new members, 2 years of no meetings in some places has had a huge impact.

The County continues to share the International Adviser role with Wilts North and has various other appointments still requiring a representative.

Our volunteer leaders have worked tirelessly through the pandemic and shown huge resolve and determination and are very much looking forward to being in person again together at Berwick in February 2022 for a ‘catch up’ over lunch.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2021

APPOINTMENTS AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES

All Trustees are appointed by the County Commissioner in consultation with the County Executive Committee. During 2021 there has been zoom training made available as and when required. It is anticipated that in 2022/23 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 2021 amounted to £140,173 (2020: £143,803).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2021

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.

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 2021, 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 2021

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.
