in prepanng
young people with skills
for life. We encourage
our young people to do more, learn|| ||||||more and be more. Each week, the 1st Needham
Market|| ||||||Scout Group give young people of the Needham
Market|| ||||||area the opportunity
to enloy fun and adventure
while|| ||||||developing
the skills they need to succeed.|| ||||||The group
runs three sections being Beavers (age 5 and|7),| ||||||Dubs (ages 8 to 10.5) and Scouts (ages 18.5to 14) and|are| ||||||looking to re-establish
an Explorer section (ages 14-18).We|| ||||||are open to all young people
m the local area.|| ||||||The sections
run a full programme
offun, educational
and|| ||||||adventurous
activities supplemented
with camps,
hikes and|| ||||||other tnps on an ad hoc basis. Throughout
the Covid-19|| ||||||pandemic
we have followed
and adhered
to guidance
issued|| ||||||centrally
by the Scout Assomation,
for a large part of the|| ||||||year only bsmg able to provide a programme
remotely
using|| ||||||online resources over Zoom.|| ||||||The main sources of income for the group are subscnptions|| ||||||from members
charged on a termly basis as well as ad hoc|| ||||||contnbutions
for specific events,
trips and camps. We also|| ||||||receive some income from rent ofthe Scout Hut to other|| ||||||users and from ad hoc fundraising
events.
In the current|| ||||||year we have also received grant income from the local|| ||||||authority as a result of to the Covid-19 pandemic.|| ||||||The main recurring
costs we mcur in order to deliver our|| ||||||activities are the costs ofthe programme,
badges and|| ||||||scarves as well as the overhead costs for the Scout Hut|of| ||||||electrimly,
water and insurance
along with capitation fees to|| ||||||the Scout Assomation,
which covers the group
in their|| ||||||national
accident insurance
policy. During the current year|| ||||||we have also had to spend
money on repairs and|| ||||||maintenance
ofthe hut to ensure

by the global Covid-
19pandemic
which has impacted
on the lives ofeverybody| ||||||within
our community.
Itwas also a year in which the new| ||||||Group Executive, appointed
part way through
the pnor year,| ||||||was able to start to effect real change
within the group.| ||||||Throughout
the Covid-19 pandemic
we have followed and| ||||||adhered
to guidance
issued centrally
by the Scout| ||||||Association.
For a large part ofthe year we have only been| ||||||able to provide a programme
remotely
using online| ||||||resources over Zoom. After having
run some one off zoom| ||||||meetmgs
for each section dunng
the first lockdown
in| ||||||Spring/Summer
2020 the group was proactive
in completmg| ||||||the necessary
risk assessments
and putting
place sumcient| ||||||social distancing
measures
to enable us to be one ofthe first| ||||||groups
in Suffolk to return to face to face Scouting
in| ||||||September 2020. While we had to revert back to zoom| ||||||meetings
in the further lockdowns
dunng
November
2020| ||||||and January
to March 2021 we maintained
a regular| ||||||programme
for our young
people to allow them to continue| ||||||to develop
new skills and have fun during
the lockdowns.| ||||||The pandemic
has seen our number
ofyoung
people| ||||||increase from the previous year, and continue to increase| ||||||still post year-end. We have also welcomed
new leaders to| ||||||the group dunng
the year providing
some much needed| ||||||support to the existing leadership
team. A number of leaders| ||||||from the Beaver and Scout sections have also been helping| ||||||to support gapa
in the Cub leadership
team.| ||||||As well as impacting
on the groups
ability to deliver our| ||||||activities to young
people the Covid-19 pandemic
has had| ||||||an impact on our finances.
During the first lock down
m| ||||||Spring/Summer
2020, as mentioned
above, we ran some| ||||||one off zoom meetings
but were not providing a full| ||||||programme.
While this was the case, and mindful ofthe| ||||||potential
financial
hardship
and uncertainty
being| ||||||expenenced
by many
individuals
in the country at the time| ||||||the executive made a deasion that we would
not being| ||||||charging
subscnptions
to members
which
is ordinarily
our| ||||||main source of income.| ||||||However as we own our own hut (on land leased from| ||||||another
local chanty) we then found out that we were eligible| ||||||in the first lockdown
to receive grant funding
(an initial| ||||||Std,000) from the local authority
(Mid Suffolk District| ||||||Council) to support
our finances
and cover our on-going| ||||||costs due to the uncertainty
caused by pandemic.
We were| ||||||also successful
m our application
for a speafic Emerging| ||||||Needs grant fund. This grant was spent dunng
the year,
m| ||||||line with the grant conditions,
helping
to cover specific costs| ||||||during
the lockdown
period and fund some ofthe repairs| ||||||and new CCTI/ system
following some instances
ofanti| ||||||social behavior and a break
in at the hut in Spnng 2020.| ||||||Luckily no property
was stolen dunng
the break in.| ||||||We were then eligible to receive further grant funding
from| ||||||the local authority
in the subsequent
lockdowns
in| ||||||November 2020 and January to March 2021 with a further| ||||||29,900 received for these periods under the national| ||||||scheme.| ||||||In March 2021 we were also successful
in our application
to| ||||||our local counmgors
for a locality grant of53,500.This was| ||||||received
from Mid Suffolk Distnct Counwl
in March 2021 and| ||||||is to fund solar panels for the roof of the hut. This will help| ||||||save the group money
m ongoing
electricity costs and| ||||||mcrease our use ot renewable
energy and reduce our| ||||||carbon footpnnt. When the electncity generated
