Annual Report for Pennine Scout District GM (2021 – 2022)

(Registered Charity No. 1175173)

Aims & Purposes

The Pennine Scout District is one of six districts within the Greater Manchester North Scout County, covering the geographical area of the Rochdale Metropolitan Borough and in particular the towns of Rochdale, Middleton, Heywood & Littleborough. The Pennine Scout district was created in 2014 following a comprehensive review of the former districts undertaken across the County and subsequent mergers. The Pennine Scout district was registered with the Charity Commission on 16 October 2017.

The Pennine District Scout Council (PDSC) is responsible for ensuring that opportunities exist for Scouting to be active in as many locations as possible across the borough, providing a service for young people from the age of 6 - 25 across five different sections – Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Network Members. Scouting is an inclusive movement and is available to all young people. At the present time there are 21 individual groups spread across the borough. Within the district there are several properties owned and managed directly by individual groups. Other groups meet in school buildings, community halls or church halls. One building (former Middleton district scout hut) is owned by the district but the day to day management of this is the subject of a service level agreement between the district and a group. The district is responsible for the management and maintenance of the Ashworth Valley Scout Campsite.

The Purpose of Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

Values & Method

The PDSC is committed to enabling as many young people as possible to participate in Scouting activities.

The Values of Scouting

As Scouts we are guided by these values:

Vision

By 2025* we will have prepared more young people with skills for life, supported by amazing leaders delivering an inspiring programme. We will be growing, more inclusive, shaped by young people and making a bigger impact in our communities.

*Due to the impact of COVID-19, our Skills for Life strategy has been extended by 2 years until 2025.

The Scout Method

Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and:

The policies we follow are stated clearly in the Scout Associations Policy Organisation and Rules document (POR) covering the following topics:-

Activities & Achievements

Throughout the year, there are a host of activities for the young people to access as part of their Scouting programme. Most of the activity takes place within individual sections belonging to groups and these planned activities provide a structure of badges and awards, which are progressive through the sections, and

will actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society’.

Additional activities are arranged each year and run on a district basis for all Pennine groups, and there are a limited number of larger activities provided by the Greater Manchester North County and the Northwest region.

Until the middle of 2021, activities continued to be severely affected by Covid-19 lockdowns and these lasted until June of that year when limited outdoor activities resumed. By the Autumn of 2021 there was a near normal resumption of the indoor and outdoor programme. Whilst the number of young people (6 – 18yrs) quickly returned there was a noticeable reduction in adult volunteers – the 18 month break in usual activities coincided with some of our volunteers reviewing the level of their continuing commitment, particularly those with many years of service and wishing to step down a little.

The Scouting programme provides a range of activities, challenges, and experiences that young people experience in Scouting, and it is based around three main themes:

This programme of activities is planned by the leadership team in partnership with young people, and incorporates elements from each theme, to offer young people the most interesting and diverse experience.

There is flexibility within Scouting which means that all young people, regardless of their learning and physical abilities, can enjoy and achieve. The Programme is flexible and has room to adapt and accommodate the needs of the individuals in the section, with the focus being on personal development.

Ashworth Valley

PDSC has responsibility for the ownership and management of the Ashworth Valley Scout Campsite.

Background

This is the largest single asset owned by the district. The 48-acre campsite is situated in rural Lancashire in countryside bordering the Pennines, but still within easy reach of Greater Manchester’s motorway network. The site was previously owned by the former Rochdale & Heywood Scout districts and was a working farm until the mid-1990’s; camping at that time only took place in the valley and on the ‘bottom field’. The voluntary staff ran the campsite from wooden buildings around the camp centre.

More recently

When the tenant farmer retired it was decided to have the whole farm as a campsite. Some of the old wooden buildings were taken down and the new workshop erected.

Many of the old stone farm buildings were redeveloped as washrooms, toilets, shop, offices and stores. In addition to the camping fields the site benefits from two purpose built residential buildings which can accommodate 32 and 24 people dormitory style.

Present

Ashworth Valley is committed to investing into the future and developing the site for all. We have many ongoing projects which aim to move the site forward, both in terms of site amenities and activities

We offer a wide range of activities for all ages.

Climbing Wall, Indoor Air Rifle Range, Outdoor Archery Range, Outdoor Axe Throwing Range, Crossbow, Pedal Karts, Orienteering, Pioneering, Adventure Playground, Beaver Leaf and Bug Hunt, Backwoods Area, Nature Trail, Outdoor Games Pack, Low Ropes Course, Zip line and High Ropes Grass Sledges, Cave Bus, Soft Archery & Dipping pond

Following the successful installation and commissioning of a new sewerage treatment plant (at a cost of £60,000), other more routine maintenance projects have been the focus of development work more recently. Of course, this routine management and maintenance will only continue largely with the help provided by our wonderful team of volunteers who turn out every week to tend the grounds, repair minor breakages etc. Without them the task of keeping the site in tip top condition would not be possible. The uncertain times during lockdown dictated the speed of the future improvement programme, but we are pleased to say that we have now achieved a large proportion of our goals, with lots of young people and their leaders able to continue enjoying a great time on the campsite.

Many of the summertime bookings for 2021 were cancelled or re-booked for a later date. The camping and building accommodation bookings are recovering well, and we are expecting to be back to our pre-Covid use by early next year, 2023.

Financial Review

The Pennine District account comprises two separate elements, covering the Ashworth Valley Scout campsite and the general account for all matters relating to the day to day running of the district. Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £59,874.56 of which £5,084 was gained from renting out part of the former farmhouse.

The largest single transaction each year is the collection of membership subscriptions of behalf of the district. For each registered young person, we are required to collect a fee – this was £42.00 for the 2022 year. This subscription is collected and subsequently paid out to cover County and National Headquarters running costs and is subject to an annual review. At present, the district has not added any additional levy to this subscription. The account therefore shows £38,136.00 both as income and expenditure.

Full details of the account are included under the Financial Statements. The net result for the year was a surplus of receipts over payments of £13,578.14, reversing the deficit from the previous year due to Covid-19 issues. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the financial year, the

balances carried forward on 31 March 2022 on unrestricted funds totalled £99,085, excluding non-monetary assets.

Monies from the elements of the consolidated accounts are invested in banks, the Scout Association Short Term Investment service and Scottish Widows – details of these are included in the Consolidated Receipts and Payments account.

Volunteers

Over 1000 young people experience fun and adventure every week in the 21 groups that comprise the Pennine Scout District. We have a wealth of Scouting experience in the 400+ adult volunteers and their dedication and value to the groups is tremendous. Without this commitment week on week we would not be able to provide the varied programme of activities and achieve the development potential in our young people. We are also lucky to have a group of volunteers providing the support ‘behind the scenes’ covering a variety of administration duties and supporting the groups and the sectional leaders.

Structure, Governance and Management

The method of appointment of District Executive Committee Members is set out in Scouting’s ‘Policy Organisation and Rules’ (POR). The district executive members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the Pennine district including on how the funds of the district are spent.

The Executive Committee met every 2 months over the past year and the meetings were generally well attended. Some of these took place as virtual meetings via Zoom. As ever we discussed a range of topics relating to all aspects of managing the district including, financial support to groups, GDPR, advising on Gift Aid, Growth & development, Risk Management, annual Census, and arrangements, including fund raising, for those attending the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea in 2023. In the past twelve months we welcomed 24 new adult volunteers across the district. This number is still not up to our previous recruitment levels and demonstrates the need for continued recruitment to ensure all of the sections within our groups can continue to function.

One of the key development areas identified is the support that we can offer to groups across the district and particularly with their Executive committee responsibilities. This is something the District Executive committee members will continue to assist with during the coming year. Some of our groups, with their own property, were fortunate enough to qualify for further grants under the Government’s Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund (RHLGF) to help them manage their outgoings during the period of lockdown.

Administrative Information

The Pennine District is situated within the Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester and the correspondence address is: c/o District Secretary (Anne Williams), 14 Alresford Road, Middleton, Manchester, M24 1WU. Email: secretary@pennine.gmnscouts.org.uk

The current Executive Committee members who were elected at the AGM held on 13 July 2022 are as follows (several of these also served on the previous committee). This was the first face to face AGM we held since September 2019, although virtual meetings were held in 2020 & 2021 in accordance with the regulations in place at those times. Nominations for any new executive committee members were requested by 24 June 2022 with forms being sent out widely across the district. No new nominations were received by the declared closing date.

PENNINE DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNT 20212022

Chair’s Report

Welcome, to the AGM of the Pennine District, I am delighted that we are able to meet in person this year here, at Heywood Cricket Club.

I want to start by thanking you all once again, for your ingenuity and resilience in dealing with the challenges of the past two years and maintaining consistency across the scouting movement here in Penning District. In particular I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Alan (DC), and his team of helpers, in delivering a robust system of risk assessment to keep us all safe.

In Summer 2023, more than 40,000 Scouts from all over the world will gather in Korea for the 25th World Scout Jamboree. The World Scout Jamboree is a World Organisation of the Scout Movement, it happens every four years, each time hosted by a different country. We’re so proud that 36 scouts from Greater Manchester North County (of which 14 are from the Pennine District) and 4 leaders will join the UK Contingent, in South Korea. The selected scouts went through a rigorous programme of selection, and now have the challenging task of raisings funds for the journey, with the support of their friends in Pennine District and their families, I am confident that this will be achieved.

Closer to home, the management committee of Ashworth Valley have successfully negotiated the challenges of managing the site, despite suffering a reduced income as a result of COVID. We are privileged to have such a wonderful facility in our district, and I encourage groups of Explorers, scouts, cubs and beavers to support Ashworth Valley Camp site when planning any activities. The Ashworth Valley website tells you all about the facilities available to you and provides contact details.

I encourage you all to take time to visit the Pennine District new updated website. Thank you to Alan (DC) for the time that he has dedicated to renewing the content of the site. As we move forward post Covid, let’s celebrate the new opportunities presented to us to create more exciting Scouting.

Sustainability was a key theme of the Queen’s recent Jubilee celebrations, some of you may have planted trees to honour this special occasion. As Scouts, we’re always striving to leave the world a little better than we found it. Over the last one hundred years, the issues that scouting has tackled have evolved and changed, but our young people’s drive to make a positive impact remains constant. I encourage all groups to explore the Million Hands project on the Scout Association website, highlighting six contemporary themes that you may wish to explore to make a difference in your local community.

As we now enjoy a sense of normality, Pennine District must focus its attention on the recruitment and retention of good group leaders. I highlighted, in my report last year, that we retained scouts during the pandemic but were in danger of failing them for lack of leaders. Once again I urge all members here tonight, District members and group leaders, to work together to recruit new leaders. If you have any good ideas on how we may attract new leaders, please share them.

Finally, I offer sincere thanks to Anne and Avril, secretary and treasurer, for their invaluable support throughout the past twelve months and close with best wishes to all for the coming year.

Gary Walczak

District Commissioners Report 2021-2022

It’s been a year of recovery for the Pennine District. As we entered March 2021, we were just out of the lockdown but Zoom meetings were still rampant and some groups hadn’t started back. The group I run didn’t start back in our hut until after Easter and I am sure others were the same.

But from there, it got better and better. I’ve looked at the census figures for 2021 and compared them with 2022. We had a 19% increase in young people over that period – which is almost 1 in 5. This is fantastic in two ways – firstly that we were able to keep so many during the pandemic and that we have managed to regain so many since it. We are still not yet back to the 2020 figures, but to be honest, with all the changes at group level, I don’t expect us to get there any time soon. All groups apart from one have now restarted and that one is planned to start in July.

The biggest impact has been on the leader numbers. We dropped a long way and are finding it hard to regain our numbers from 2020. I think everyone recognises this and are pushing hard on recruitment. I know TSA have some new initiatives which Pennine will be looking closely at over the next few months.

But enough of the doom and gloom. Scouting is still well established in the Pennine District and we are all enjoying getting back to normality – especially now that summer has arrived (as I write this, a heavy rain cloud is overhead – but I don’t care ). As DC I have to approve Nights Aways and I am seeing an increasing number of these landing in my inbox. This all bodes well for scouting. As a GSL I am looking at my group’s numbers for now and in the future and I have already had to close my forward waiting list as we are full for anyone over the age of 4.

We have started two Squirrel Dreys at the 1[st] Heywood and the 7thA Rochdale and they are doing fantastically well. I visited one evening and was delighted by the fun and enjoyment that the Squirrels and the leaders were having. We plan to open more Squirrel sections during the coming year and I can only see this getting better.

The 9[th] Heywood have completed the rebuild of their Scout HQ. I visited it and it is superb. If you get a chance for a visit, please go.

Awards are still coming through. I was proud to present a Silver Wolf to Stephen Walthall and have presented Silver Acorns to Norma Brandon, Chris McLaren, Sandra Roberts, and Mark Hollis. There have been many other awards as well; far too many to mention in this short report. Congratulations to everyone – they are all well deserved.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our great leaders. From the occasional helpers up to section leaders and GSLs; I see happy smiling faces and it is obvious that everyone involved enjoys being there and sees Scouting as something essential to our future. So, a very big THANK YOU from me to all of you. Without you all, we would not have Scouting in Pennine.

I’ll close the report here and stop rambling on. I wish you all Happy Scouting for the future.

Alan Sharkey

District Commissioner.

Pennine District Beaver Section Report to AGM 2022 (Apr 21 to Mar 22)

Events

We held off district events until it was clear we were out of the restrictions concerned with Covid 19 and so there is little to report. It was January that we had our pizza and cinema event and that was well attended with over 120 members taking part although upon first enquiring in December we expected 80 max.

The football tournament was won by 8[th] Heywood in February, well done to them.

Unfortunately, the Sports Day and swim event has been cancelled in an effort to reduce costs for parents given the hardship that some families are having following Covid and the hike in prices.

Looking to the future: We have a county event of a mystery trip – to Chester Zoo… and our district Beaver Activity day at Ashworth Valley in June then with Christmas soon being upon us(!) we are already making plans for the Santa Express.

District Beaver Colonies

Dearnley, Lowerplace, 12[th] Heywood, 3[rd] /4[th] Ravenscroft are some of the colonies struggling to recruit leaders and this is ongoing. Sadly Milnrow had to close their second beaver colony this year after 5 years due to leader shortage. 5[th] Pennine is currently in moth balls but we hope that they will remerge in September.

Finally

Sadly Allyson Phillips passed away far too young; leaving us with good memories but adding to our leader shortage. In addition we also sadly lost Dave Whitehead in March, he was ADC prior to myself taking on the role in 2016 – he always gave me his support whenever I needed it in any ADC related matters. Our thoughts are with their families.

As always, my admiration and thanks goes to all our Beaver leaders, Young Leaders, District leaders and all adult helpers of the Districts Beaver sections for their hard work, dedication and efforts and support they have given over the last year to help make a scouting adventure for our younger scout members. They are making a huge difference to young people's lives – gifting children with skills for life, who are learning about themselves along the way and having great fun in doing it. I value your dedication greatly and do not under estimate the work you do in addition to family life, work and their other commitments. Big thank you.

CUB SECTION REPORT (1st April 2021 – 31st March 2022)

Thanks to all the Cub leaders across the district who have provided high quality programmes for the Cubs throughout the year. Pack meetings have gradually returned to normal as face-to-face meetings resumed.

Once it became possible to have face-to-face meetings the cub leaders were able to hold seonee meetings to discuss and plan a programme of district events which would support the programmes run in pack meetings and to enable cubs to mix with other packs.

Three district events were decided upon to be held throughout 2022. Firstly, a Badge Day to be held in April, when the cubs would have the choice of completing either their Pioneer, DIY or Scientist activity badge. Secondly, a camp to be held in June and thirdly, a wide games, bonfire and fireworks event to be held in October. All these events were planned to take place from April 2022 onwards and booked at Ashworth Valley.

We look forward to the resumption of district events in 2022 to support all cub packs.

Thanks to Len Tolan DCSL for his continued support and to all the Cub leaders who help plan and run district events.

Sandra Roberts (ADC Cubs)

Youth Commissioners Report

It has been another challenging year for all leaders, helpers, and supporters of scouting and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your continued support towards scouting both young people and leaders.

As of September 2021, I became District Youth Commissioner of Pennine and have spent the year settling into my new role. I have a range of plans and projects that I would like to accomplish within my time in the role. However, this can only be done with the support of everyone around us. Therefore, one of my first projects is to find a new Deputy District Youth Commissioner to work alongside myself and in the Youth Commissioner team. If you or you know anyone above the age of 18 that would be suitable for or interested in the role, please let the Youth Commissioner team know.

The new Youshape Award was launched early October 2021, I presented this to GSL and District Leaders at a meeting earlier in the year so they can understand how the new programme works and promote it to the young people within their sections and groups. I do hope in the near future that I am able to visit sections/groups again to put this new award into practice. Although if any groups need any help with this soon then please let me know.

With England now in GREEN I am hoping that more young people will begin to engage with the new Youshape award, top awards, and events that we as a district and as Youth Commissioners run.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours in Scouting Darren Lord

District Secretary

It’s so nice to be back to near normal Scouting again. From a governance perspective the Pennine District managed to continue over the past year with all its requirements under POR and the Charity Commission. We held our 2021 AGM as a Zoom meeting on 7[th] July to comply with the restrictions in place at that time, but we managed to hold 6 regular Executive meetings, approximately every 2 months, all as face-to-face meetings. It was good to be together again in this way.

Thank you to all the Group Scout Leaders and Group Contacts for their speedy completion of the census process this year and for making my part of the process fairly stress free !

Within the Executive meetings we have covered many topics and concerns of the district (such as District finances, Support for groups, hardship funds, Hospitality grants, Return to Scouting and associated risk assessments, Ashworth Valley updates, the Charity Commission annual report, Gift Aid, and the World Scout Jamboree 2023. I would particularly like to single out one of the biggest achievements over the year - the preparation and approval of a District finance policy document. A big thank you to Gary and his team for the work they put into this.

If you have any issues that you or your group would like to be addressed by the Executive, then let me know and I will add these to a future agenda.

Pennine district has continued to gain a good number of Good Service awards and congratulations to all who have received one during the past 12 months. Thankfully, the Awards team are back up and functioning as normal again at Gilwell. As a district we held a very pleasant awards presentation session at Ashworth Valley on 3 October to recognise various awards gained over the past two years, and particularly for those who had missed out on the usual Windsor gatherings in 2020 & 2021.

Sadly, the past year has seen some losses within the Pennine Scouting family. We remember Phil Elsworth, Martin Fleming, Andy Wells, Dave Whitehead and Allyson Phillips. Our grateful thanks go to all of these for the service they gave to local Scouting, and of course our condolences to their families.

Adult Training Report

The past year has been a transitional one for everyone, as we have returned to near normal Scouting and face-to-face training has restarted. Some of our volunteers had their training disrupted by Covid cancellations and we are now in a period where we need to catch up. If anyone is finding it hard to work out how to fill in the gaps, please let me know.

The Scout Association have changed quite a few elements of the training programme. The Getting Started course has been completely overhauled and is now fully available as online learning, like many online training methods used in the workplace and other organisations. Many of our new leaders will be very familiar with this method of updating their knowledge base.

All new appointments, from September 2021, are required to complete 4 online modules - Safety, Safeguarding, Essential Information and GDPR. Anyone with a governance role is required to complete the online Trustee Introduction module. This is a good refresher course for existing members, too, to ensure they understand their responsibilities as a charity trustee. Leaders and Assistant Section Leaders must also complete the online Module 3 (Tools for the Role). Leaders, Managers and Supporters are required to hold at First Aid certificate (more about this below), but they can be validated for this training if they have a First Aid qualification through work or another recognised organisation.

All training courses are advertised on the County calendar and individuals are able to book themselves on to a course, and remember all training is free. gmnscoutstraining.org

First Aid - Over the past year a new First Aid training has changed. There are now two units to complete 10A – Theory and 10B – Practical. 6- hour courses covering both of these modules are run by the County Training team. The First Aid certificate must be valid at the issue of the Wood Badge and for appointment renewal. This should be monitored by the line manager at the point of appointment review, at least every three years.

Blended Model - This is an option made available by HQ during the pandemic, but it has now been extended until 31st August 2022. For this option, you complete an e-learning package. Once complete you will then attend a 3- hour face to face course at County HQ.

The e-learning can be found by following the below link

If you have completed the E-Learning and require the face to face, please email your certificate of completion to courseadministrator@gmnscouts.org.uk. Once received you will be contacted with available dates for the face to face 3-hour course.

Finally, thank you to all those that have completed or renewed training in any area over the past year, adding to the time you already offer in your role as a valued volunteer.

AGM REPORT FROM PENNINE APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE

After coming out of ‘lockdown’ it was good to see several groups started to recruit new leaders and as a result the appointments committee have been kept busy meeting on 7 different occasions in the report year. We have continued to use ZOOM to conduct the meetings and have found it a very effective way of meeting the new applicants. It has proved beneficial in reducing the amount of travelling, saving of time, reducing fuel costs, avoiding the need for childcare in some cases. We propose to continue using ZOOM as long as we have access to it through the District.

During this year we have met 30 new applicants, all of whom were approved by the panel.

One of our committee members, Ann Winn, resigned during the year due to personal reasons. We thank Ann for her service on the committee over many years and her valuable contribution to the appointments process.

I would just like to ask all Group Scout Leaders to ensure that the new applicants have had a chance to discuss the roles, values and policies as per POR 16.1.2 before they come to the appointments meeting.

Pennine Appointments Secretary

Ashworth Valley Annual Report 2022

Following the lifting of restrictions, regarding ‘Face to Face’ Scouting, The Assistant Wardens, Activity Instructors, and the maintenance staff (L.O.G.S.), at Ashworth, have been working hard to accommodate the Scout Groups, Guide Groups, Schools, Church, and Youth Groups all wanting to book their delayed camps or activity days. At the same time, we have endeavoured to maintain and improve the Campsite for our young people and their leaders.

Even though we have had quite an increase in the number of school and D. of E. visits during the weekdays, which has taken up a lot of time, I am pleased to say that we have achieved a large proportion of our goals. With lots of young people and their leaders having a great time.

The camping and building accommodation bookings are recovering well, and we are expecting to be back to our pre Covid use by early next year. One major change we have made, is, the charge for the gas and electricity used in the Pack Holiday Centre and the Ranch House, will now be incorporated in the hire cost. We are hoping that people will not use the power wastefully.

As I am writing this, we are Completing the upgrade to the Air Rifle Range, and the renovation of the Ranch House. Also, the new Marquee has now been erected and the hire cost has been listed on our, newly revamped, web site. We have also introduced an updated booking form for camps/buildings and activities.

One verbal complaint (!!!) I received though, was from a leader looking, (unsuccessfully), for a discount on his groups camping fees because his Cubs got their shoes wet from the grass after the rain!! Mmmmm! Thankfully he was from another District.

We hope that you will continue to use and enjoy your District Campsite for many camps and activity days in the future.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees/members of Pennine Scout

District

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis on Independent examiner’s report

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 presented a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act, and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees/members of Pennine Scout District

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis on Independent examiner’s report

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 presented a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act, and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
