West London District Scout Council Annual Report Financial Year 2022/2023

District Lead Volunteers’ Welcome
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the 2022-23 West London Scouts Annual Report. West London District has seen some wonderful growth over the past year with sections working to capacity across many groups.
We are nothing without you, the leaders. You work week in, week out, delivering fantastic opportunities for all. You are giving young people from wonderfully diverse and sometimes challenging backgrounds the chance to engage in and access fantastic opportunities, events, and activities. I can’t thank you enough for your continued volunteering, contribution, and commitment to create opportunities and skills for life.
Thanks, must also go to those who sit behind the scenes working very hard across the Trustee board, Training, the Jack Petchey Scheme, and the Appointments team to provide governance, awards, learning and development, and a warm welcome for all of our adults and youth members. They are often unsung, but please join me in saying a heartfelt Thank You, we honestly couldn’t do it without you, you are amazing.
As we move into 2024 we will face new challenges and experiences. We will see change and development as the transformation project rolls out further, alongside additional growth from new and expanding groups, but we also want to engage in strengthening and preserving what we do. Stability and support are more important than ever, and this means a fuller, broader team with specific focus, which will lead to more direct support.
You are the best of what Scouting has to offer. Don’t forget it. You will be supported through this and onward. I hope that you support the District Team in turn as we work through the opportunities and challenges ahead, together.
Best Wishes for 2024
Dawn Sheppard
District Lead Volunteer

Growth
The below table outlines our youth membership going back to 2010. Whilst our explorer numbers have grown by January 2024, most of our sections have either stayed the same or shrunk slightly. In that time our volunteers have grown from 106 in 2010 to 255 in 2024, which is back to pre-pandemic numbers of adults dedicating time to supporting young people gain skills for life.

Annual Accounts vr 6116 bw
Financial Review
West London District Scout Council’s accounts for the year have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis as usual and are set out in this report. Just one unrestricted account has been used during the accounting period.
Net receipts show a surplus of £46,729 for the year. The principal sources of income over the year were rental income from the Nursery School that operates from our property in Muster Road, Fulham, and the one off transfer of assets on closure of the 40[th] Fulham Scout Group. Income from investments was slightly higher than the previous year, mainly as a result of the move of our investments in the CAF Fixed Interest Fund and the CAF UK Equity Fund to the CAF ESG Income and Growth Fund; the former two funds closed.
As Scouting emerges from restrictions on activities because of Covid, two District events were run during the year at a net cost of £2,985 and further contributions totalling £4,195 were made towards the costs of those attending the World Jamboree in South Korea and the Jamborette in the Netherlands.
On other expenditure, the District began spending on the camp site at Coombe Farm in Croydon to bring health and safety measures like the electrics and the forestry up to date prior to the site being ready for camping use. This came to £14,268. Further expenditure is required to complete this work and provision has also been made for refurbishment of the kitchen in 2023/24. During the year, proprietorship of the site was transferred from the Official Custodian of Charities to the Dawn Sheppard and Ian Clarke as Trustees of West London District Scout Council; this was the first stage of the process to transfer proprietorship to the Scout Association Trust Corporation.
The District continues to operate its Inclusion Fund to help young people whose families are in financial difficulty. This year, grants totalled £5,340.
membership fee payable in April.
The District owns three properties, two of which are held in trust on the District’s behalf by the Scout Association Trust Corporation and one (Coombe Farm, Croydon) currently by Dawn Sheppard and Ian Clarke as Trustees of West London District Scout Council:
-
A house in Munster Road, Fulham that is leased out on a commercial basis to a nursery school;
-
Land adjacent the former Downe National Camp Site at Luxted.
-
Land and a building used as a camp site adjacent Coombe Farm, Oaks Road, Croydon

Reserves Statement
Apart from the funds immediately available in the District’s main bank account, it has a sum, currently £30,305, in a deposit account. This would be sufficient for the District to run normally for at least six months should the main account become exhausted and no income be received. The sum could be accessed immediately if required, though at the loss of 90 days’ interest, and acts as a financial cushion. It could, however, be used to fund new initiatives should be current account be temporarily unable to sustain them.
Investments Statement
West London District Scout Council is fortunate to have acquired investments through the transfer of assets from the predecessor bodies that were merged to form it. The bulk of the investments are currently in the Charities Aid Foundation’s ESG Income and Growth Fund and the COIF Charities Investment Fund. The only constraint on the investment policies of the fund managers is the need to take account of the relatively low risk appetites of the charities whose money they are investing. The other investment in a holding of shares in Barclays plc, again a legacy of the transfer of assets when the District was formed.
Apart from these investments, the charity has rental income from leasing out its property in Munster Road, Fulham. The Trustee Board uses income from its investments and rental income to carry out its functions.
-
Fund its own running costs such as insurance and administration expenses. This means that the District can avoid making an additional levy on top of the Headquarters and County charge for membership subscriptions, reducing financial burdens on individuals and Groups.
-
• Provide a range of activities and events for members of all Scout Groups in the District’s area. Some of these activities will be at no cost to participants while others will be subsidised in order to make them accessible.
-
Provide resources and events to promote the development of Scout Groups in the District.
-
Operate an inclusion fund to ensure that young people from disadvantaged families have access to local Scouting.
to meet these objectives. Income is fairly stable because the reserves are spread across a range of investments. While any unspent income may be added to the reserves or reinvested from time to time, the investments could also be redeemed to fund any shortfall to ensure that the programme of activities approved by the District Trustee Board can be carried out.
The level of, and returns on, investments are reported to each meeting of the Trustee Board and both the Investment and Reserves policies are reviewed as part of the budget setting process each year. The size of the investments and reserves currently held is deemed to be appropriate by the Trustees.

Explanatory Notes
1 Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis using historical costs. However, investments are shown at market value at the closure of the financial period. Land and property values shown in Note 13 are those last obtained from professionally qualified valuers.
West London District Scout Council meets the definition of a public benefit entity under the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
2 Membership subscriptions
HQ membership subscriptions and the County levy of £46.50 was paid on 969 youth members.
3 Coombe Farm camp site
There was income of £435 from the use of the camp site before the site was closed pending carrying out formal risk assessments.
Expenditure on the site over the year has been £14,268 as follows:
-
Insurance - £1,511
-
Water and sewerage - £214
-
Electricity - £1,593
-
Business rates - £4
-
Risk assessments and remediation - £9,320
-
Maintenance costs - £769
-
Refund of deposit - £75
-
Defibrillator - £782
The business rate charge is low because a number of transitionary schemes were in place.
4 Donation
A one-off donation was made to the Red Cross’ Ukraine Appeal in 2021/22.
19
5 District events
The events which took place during the year were a Cub Camp and a sports day.
6 Inclusion grants
The scheme whereby Group Scout Leaders can request a subsidy from the District to cover or part cover the costs of Scouting for members in financial difficulty was used by six Groups/Units during the reporting period.
7 Explorer Units
These accounts incorporate those for two Units which are financially independent of the Groups that host them. A start up grant from the District was paid to one unit, together with support for hiring a venue.
8 Secretary’s honorarium
The Secretary receives an honorarium for his services, paid in equal monthly amounts.
9 Storage at Twynholm Hall
The former 15[th] Fulham Scout Group stored their equipment at this hall and had fallen behind with rental payments. The District has now settled the arrears. It has since vacated the hall.
10 Jamboree
The District sponsored 14 participants, 3 leaders and 11 Service Team members for the Jamboree in South Korea. The District also sponsored 7 participants for the Jamborette in Haarlem, Holland. 25% of the cost. One leader was subsequently able to secure full funding for his cost from another source and the County refunded the amount we had paid for him. The net cost has been £16,975, spread across years 2021/22 and 2022/23.
11 Asset transfer
This item represents closing the Virgin Money Notice Deposit Account containing £20,000 and opening an account with the Monmouthshire Building Society with £30,000. The Monmouthshire account has a slightly better interest rate and allows immediate access to funds if required.
20
12 Debtors
The figure of £2,367 represents two debts owed to the District, one is for insurance rent and the other a loan to a Group for a participant in the Jamboree.
13 Land and property
The land and property assets, especially camp sites, are difficult to value with accuracy and the value may be difficult to realise in the event of sale. The most recent valuations are:
-
Land at Luxted in the London Borough of Bromley valued at £20,000 in 2020 and last used as a camp site.
-
Land and building at 159 Munster Road, Fulham professionally valued in April 2023 at £672,400. It is insured at a rebuilding cost of £560,000. The District derives rental income from the lease of this building to a nursery school.
-
Land and building adjacent Coombe Farm, Oaks Road, Croydon valued for insurance reinstatement purposes at £240,000.
Landlord liability insurance on all properties is covered by the general membership policy taken out by the Scout Association.
The first two properties above are held in trust by the Scout Trust Corporation while two named Trustees of West London District Scout Council are the currently proprietors of the land adjacent Coombe Farm. It is intended to transfer proprietorship of the site to the Scout Trust Corporation.
14 Equipment
The District has a range of equipment, including camping equipment, all over five years old held at various locations. The equipment is insured on a replacement basis but is not expected to have any value if it were to be sold. The only item shown in the accounts is a defibrillator at the Coombe Farm Camp Site which been purchased in 2023.
No equipment is held at the sites in Luxted or Munster Road. The site at Coombe Farm has contents which are insured on a replacement basis for £45,400.
Other equipment, held at various locations, is insured on a replacement basis for a total of £24,300.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the West London District Scout Council (Charity no 1107659)
I report on the accounts of the District for the period 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023 which comprise the Receipts and Payments Account and Statement of Assets and Liabilities and related notes set out in the preceding seven pages.
This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees for my examination work.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The District's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They 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:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act),
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the District 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 the 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 that 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:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
