common to all Scouts.
Trustee selection methods The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy,

Section B Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk and Internal Control
The Unit Executive Committee has identified the major risks
to which they believe the Unit is exposed, these have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate
against them. The main areas of concern that have been
identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The Unit
would request the use of buildings, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisations. The Unit has sufficient
buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against
permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Unit
is included in the Scout Associations national accident
insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before
all activities.
Medical Malpractise Insurance. The Unit maintains cover for
£5m through a policy with Hiscox
Reduced income from fund raising. The Unit is primarily
reliant upon income from activities/event cover and
fundraising. The Unit does hold a reserve to ensure the
continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in
income.
Reduction or loss of members. The Unit is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities of the unit. If
there was a reduction in the number of members to an
unacceptable level then there would have to be a
contraction, consolidation or closure of services provided. In
the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Unit.
The Unit has in place systems of internal controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all
payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to ensure
that insurable risks are covered

| Public benefit statement Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects |
empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. The Values of Scouting As Scouts we are guided by these values: Integrity -We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal. Respect -We have self-respect and respect for others. Care -We support others and take care of the world in which we live. Belief -We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. Co-operation -We make a positive difference; we co- operate with others and make friends. The Scout Method Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: - enjoy what they are doing and have fun - take part in activities indoors and outdoors - learn by doing - share in spiritual reflection - take responsibility and make choices - undertake new and challenging activities - make and live by their Promise.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of
the charity during the year The unit is seeing an ever increasing demand for its services
and has provided more medical support in the last 12
months than for some time.
The unit has continued to prioritise its service to Scouting,
but has engaged with other community groups to offer joint
training courses where this is advantages to both
organisations.
Whilst the unit provides a wide range of services we have
started to develop and highlight the core five elements of
-Providing onsite First Aid Posts at the likes of
Small/Medium District and County Events
-Provide full onsite Medical Centres for large County,
International or National Events
-Deliver courses via our position as a Qualsafe Registered
Training Centre for First Aid and Pre-Hospital Care Courses
-Provide an advice line function to Scout Groups, Districts,
Counties, Areas and HQ on medical and first aid issues.
-Host the UK National First Aid Alliance, for District, County
Area SASUs
The unit has seen an increase in membership and thanks to
a grant from Awards For All has established its first satellite
base in the North West, to provide both training and event
cover.
Section E Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The Unit's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources
to continue the charitable activities of the Unit should income
and fundraising activities fall short. The Unit Executive
Committee considers that the Unit should hold a sum
equivalent to 12 months running costs together with sufficient
sums for cash-flow purposes, circa £10,000.
The Unit held unrestricted funds at the year end of £22,755
However part of these monies have been set aside as
Allocated funds to cover the expense of replacing equipment
which will come to end of life, and towards costs expected in
member training.

Investment Policy
The Unit's Income and Expenditure is very small and as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The Unit has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout Association's Short Term Investment Service.
The Unit Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure the Unit obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an account that requires a period of notice before funds may be withdrawn, before doing so the Unit Executive considers the cash flow requirements.

cover and training. Over the next 12 months the unit will look

counties and HQ functions. Develop a policy to leverage our

whole.
