Our second objective is to have premises and facilities fit for purpose, environmentally friendly and in a condition which can generate an income thereby allowing us to provide our services to the community at marginal rates ## **Review of Activities and Achievements** 106 Children, 36 adults currently limited by ratios and leader availability. The children are split into 6 groups dependant on age with. During the year we provided a mixture of online activities and normal scouting activities adhering to covid restrictions of the time and as such reduced subsidies by 50%. Each child normal sub payment for the year would be £120 In addition to subs payments the scout group runs a number of fundraising events during the year supporting local community event. These were less than normal during this financial year due to covid restrictions. The group has also applied for a number of grants to improve facilities a number of which were received during the year and are shown in our accounts. ## **Our Finances** The financial statements show net income for the financial year of £16,414,66, year to 31[st] March 2020 was -£1,168.76 The majority of increase in income has been driven by increased number of grants received to support the group during the covid pandemic. Total grants received of £20,240.93 As a charity the parents of our members have the assurance that all of the income received will be used to either make scouting more accessible for all or to improve the facilities and services offered to scouts and the local community. ## **Developments, Maintenance and Future Plans** Over the next 5 to 10 years it is our intention to improve the skill sets of leaders within the scout group enabling teaching and training on more outdoor activities to in turn increase the experiences we offer to young people in the community. We also intent to improve facilities starting with a firepit in year one and maintain and fix outdoor and indoor grounds and replace or increase equipment/supplies. We will be putting in place a new security fence in year two and developing the grounds further. At some point the aim is to completely replace the building with a new fit for purpose building which can provide all the needs of scouts and also benefit the local community. One of the aims here is to create a premises that can deliver an income stream which would ultimately allow us to deliver scouting to the community at an affordable rate ensuring it remains accessible for all. ## **Trustees** Chair Edward Milner Group Scout Leader David Mills Secretary Laura Pollard Treasurer Alex Horstmann ## **Report & Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021** 1st REDBOURN SCOUT GROUP (“the Group”) Chairperson Ed Miller EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: Group Scout Leader David Mills Secretary Laura Pollard Treasurer Alex Horstmann Quarter Master Fund raising / other Alice Pritchdoark ## TRUSTEES: The Trustees of the 1st Redbourn Scout Group are the Chairperson, Group Scout Leader, Secretary and Treasurer.
