GRAFTON DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achievements and performance
This year has a real return to normal and it has been so lovely to see camps taking place across the District together with campfires, hikes and visits and many activities. This year also saw the saw the opening of our first Squirrel Drey in the District which is going from strength to strength. The annual Census was also pleasing as we had, once again, grown as a District.
We continue to face the issue of needing more volunteers, as do many other organisations at the moment, however we are doing everything that we can to support our Groups in recruiting volunteers. During the year, this included spending a large sum of money on supporting a District wide leaflet drop to get the word out to the communities that we serve.
Financial review
During the year income totalled £30,426 (2022: £30,620), consisting of £16,883 (2022: £14,155) in (2022: £16,465) in designated funds. Expenditure was £28,210 (2022: £22,219) consisting of £18,781 (2022: £14,649) from unrestricted funds and £9,429 (2022: £7,570) from designated funds. Surplus for the year was £2,216 (2022: £8,401), with a deficit of £2,159 (2022: deficit of £1,736) within unrestricted funds and a surplus of £4,375 (2022: surplus of £10,137) within designated funds.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity that a quantity of unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level to ensure that the District can continue to function if income is disrupted, provide support in response to an unseen / emergency / disaster situation, cover any liabilities in the event of a Group ceasing to operate or defaulting on a loan to a third party and provide support for Spotley Wood Campsite in case of an unexpected event. The value of the funds held in reserve will be reviewed and adjusted accordingly when planning and agreeing the annual District budget or the District Executive Committee becomes aware of a change in situation that impacts the purpose or requirement of the reserve funds. The level of reserves has been maintained during the year.
Investment Policy
The charity does not hold significant enough funds to make longer term investments. As such, the charity operates a policy of low-risk investments with banks and building socities.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF GRAFTON DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Grafton District Scout Council (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in conjunction with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
