Gang Warily Scout & Guide HQ Charity Commission Trustee’s Annual Report
Chairman’s Report
We manage and run Gang Warily Scout & Guide HQ. Our main activities are relating to scouting and guiding. We facilitate and support the Rainbow, Beaver, Brownie, Cub, Guide, Scout & Ranger groups that are run from our HQ. Our groups have been running for about 50 years now.
We do not have any paid staff members. All of our committees and groups are run for us by volunteers.
Our groups are for children and young people aged from 5-18 years old. At our groups our children and young people take part in lots of different activities and are able to gain lots of badges. The children and young people get to meet new friends and learn vital life skills to help them in their future lives. Some of our young people have gone on to become volunteer leaders themselves.
We are a fully inclusive group and are based in an area of deprivation. So, we do everything that we can to support all of our volunteers, children, young people, their families and out local community.
Our HQ is made up of three very old temporary wooden modular buildings that were donated to us in 1983. We were told that the buildings were already about 30+ years old, but the company that donated them to us, thought that we would probably get another 10 years out of them. However almost 40 years later we are still using them, but they are in a very bad state of repair and we have become an easy target for vandals. In 2018 we started a fundraising campaign to raise money to build a new HQ. Due to Covid fundraising events and activities were put on hold, however this year we have managed to get out and about in the local community to raise awareness of our fundraising efforts and have even been able to hold a few fundraising events like our Annual Charity Race Night. We hope to build on these successes and engage with the local community. Our lease with the local council is due to for renewal in 2026 and we are very close to signing a new 50-year lease with Fawley Parish Council we hope this will be finalised and signed by the end of July 2024.
In 2023 we again worked with two other local groups to run Waterside Christmas Appeal, to support local families who were struggling to be able to provide their children with Christmas gifts due to Covid and local poverty. It was another great success we were able to provide gifts to 291 children from 95 local families.
