WILTSHIRE SOUTH COUNTY GUIDE ASSOCIATION OPERATING AS WILTSHIRE SOUTH GUIDES

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Regional Association for the year ended 31 December 2022.

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 a total of 2022 girls/adults members and recognised volunteers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2022

REVIEW OF 2022

All units have now returned to face to face meetings following the restrictive years of 2020 and 2021 and the leaders are glad to be back with their girls.

Berwick, our County Activity Centre, is fully operational again and a newly formed team of volunteers are working hard to publicise and promote the beautiful place that it is. Some County units have camped/holidayed there plus also welcoming visitors from other counties. There has been lots to do in its upkeep following the lockdowns. Some areas have been identified that will need further thought and money such as the old Pratten building and redundant play park. The Lodge is being used regularly by visitiing units and its storage shed now houses all the games and equipment from the Pratten.

A successful July trip was made by a total of 37 guide, senior section and leader members of the County to Switzerland and everyone experienced a packed fun filled 8 days. Selection weekends have taken place for INTOPS and 6 or so girls and leaders have been chosen to go to the Netherlands in 2023.

Those leaders attending the February get together at Berwick were delighted to be with each other and catch up. At this event various long service awards were given to members recognising their time and commitment to girlguiding within their units and also at County and Region level.

A further evening was held for Awards. A total of 30 awards have been given out throughout the year.

County offered a grant of one person per unit subscription payment – a third of the county units took up this grant and we were glad to provide £38.50 per application. Although offered again, no units required an interest free loan which is testament that the units have looked at their budgets and are managing their finances well.

Region have been offering face to face training but also conferences on a blended form ie zoom or in person.

A team of 3 County Commissioners were appointed at the start of 2022 for a period of 12 months; splitting up various tasks to spread the load, it has worked really well and taken the County forward.

Communication/social media has transformed with a very active Facebook page, monthly newsletters by email and region/national support of their newsletters too.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2022

PLANS FOR 2023 AND BEYOND

The bookings diary for Berwick is filling up and looking good for 2023. Unfortunately the Pratten building has come to the end of its working life and plans are being made for its safe removal. The Lodge is invaluable as an extra dry space for activities and storage of equipment.

Sadly Berwick suffered a major flood in February 2023 due to the rising water table in the valley and inefficient flood drainage infrastructure throughout the village. Consequently a new boiler has been installed all taken care of through the County insurance.

The County Executive agreed to offer a unit subscription grant again and more units have submitted their applications this time around.

The County Commissioner team worked well but as agreed have stepped down after 12 months, with 2 of the ladies continuing into 2023 in order to recruit the next team to carry on. Currently no one has been appointed and the Divisional Commissioners are caretaking the role.

Units are very active planning sleepovers, pack holidays, camps, trips to various events being put on by Region.

County membership numbers are increasing again year on year as the impact of Covid lockdowns falls away.

The County continues to share the International Advisor role with Wiltshire North but has a team of volunteers taking on the roles of Outdoor/Indoor Advisor, Inclusion, Training Coordinator and Learning and Development in place.

Our volunteer leaders continue to work tirelessly in providing a wonderful, stimulating programme and activities for our young members and supporting each other through challenging financial times. Being able to be with each other again is very beneficial.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2022

APPOINTMENTS AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES

All Trustees are appointed by the County Commissioner in consultation with the County Executive Committee. During 2022 there has been zoom training made available as and when required. It is anticipated that in 2023/24 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 2022 amounted to £121,346 (2021: £140,173).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 December 2022

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.

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 2022, 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.

It is my responsibility to:

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 2022

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.
