| Summary ofthe achievements of during the year |
main the charity |
The Group, like many others has had a tough year due to the situation with Covid-19, but is fully committed io re-building all the groups back to pre- Covid numbers and eventually to full running capacity. |
||||
| The Beaver colony is now filtering up to the Cubs and |
||||||
| hopefully over time once the groups are back up to |
||||||
| capacity this will filter up through to the Scout section. |
||||||
| There haven't been many face to face activities this |
||||||
| year due to all the restrictions, however there have |
||||||
| been some activities that have been organised and a |
||||||
| lot of District level events that have been able to go- | ||||||
| ahead virtually. The Group Exec have worked to bring |
||||||
| in relevant grants to keep the group afloat during | ||||||
| Covid and are still working to bring other grants into |
||||||
| the group in order to carry out essential maintenance |
||||||
| work to the HQ and also upgrade the building, in |
||||||
| particular to make )tmore suitable and user friendly for |
||||||
| those with a disability which will allow full participation. |
||||||
| A full roof replacement has been carried out during the |
||||||
| enforced lockdown due to Covid, and the old toileis |
||||||
| were condemned and have been replaced with a new |
||||||
| toileUshower facility which is suitable for wheelchair |
||||||
| access. | ||||||
| Briefstatement charity's policy |
ofthe on reserves |
Reserves Policy The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient |
||||
| resources to continue ihe charitable activities ofthe |
||||||
| Group should income and fundraising activities fall |
||||||
| short. The Group Executive Committee considers that |
||||||
| the Group should hold at least a sum equivalent to at |
||||||
| least 6 months running costs, circa f1000, however |
||||||
| will hopefully hold a lot more due to needing to |
||||||
| maintain their own property. |
||||||
| The Group held reserves ofapproximately F17,873 |
||||||
| against this at the year end. This is well above the |
||||||
| level required for operating expenses but a large |
||||||
| proportion ofthis is earmarked for use in building |
||||||
| works for HQ. The decrease in reserves can be |
||||||
| explained by building work costs on the roof and |
||||||
| toilets exceeding grantsldonations received during the |
||||||
| year. The Group currently has a requirement to |
||||||
| maintain a larger than normal 'buffer' for maintenance |
||||||
| and repairs to HQ, and also future major work which is | ||||||
| still required to bring the building up to modern |
||||||
| standards. | ||||||
