|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.|
