Chair of trustees. report for 2025
2025 started well forthe chlets teom largely thanks to Laura Kennard
who brought a wealth of finance experience to the team. Laura very
quickly got to work and ottended finance meetings. She also took on
the role of interim region treasurer when our treasurer stepped down
to have a baby. Laura worked hard with the finance team in the office
and th8committee to bring in changes. Thiswas strengthened bythe
oppointment of our new executive manager, Fiona Hunter, who
brings financial experience and understanding to the ottice teom.
This olso led to the appointment of o new interim finance manager,
David Fannon. Laura will be moving into a governance role now as we look to further embed our
new constitution and support counties with governance.
In late 2024 £41,000 was received from The Guide Association to support guidkng units in 2025.
This work has been ably led by Claire Course, deputy chief commissioner, who has built a team
to ensure that units are able to help girls 8xperiencing financial insecurity wlth the costs of
guiding; allow existing members to continue enjoying guiding experiences; crecrte more guiding
opportunities in deprived areas where we have no presence. and help struggllng unlts to stay
open. Unfortunately, in 2026, Girlguiding will not b8 ableto off8rthis fund but we havecommitted
to setting aside money so that Girlguiding Anglia can continue to support units in this way.
Towards the end of th8 yèar, we worked on grants and have agreed a whole new set of grants
which, at the time of writing this report are about to be lounched. We wont to support units ond
young members to enjoy guiding across the region and to be able to take part in amazing
opportunities. With more and new events taking place in different venues around the region,
the executive agreed the new trovel bursary which is offered automatically when units kx)ok on
a trip orto attend an event.The amountvaries depending on the number of miles to be travelled.
Hautbois Activlty Centre staff held our very first Brownie spectacular. An event for Brownres
oround the region to come along and enjoy in August. Hautbois Fest makes a return in summer
2026. Tickets went on sale in late 2025 and have already sold out.
Following the update to our constitution, we have moved forward ond have new members who
have joined the executivecommittee which has led to robust discussions and some very
strong decisions. Charlottewright has worked hard to introduce the girls advocate panel (GAP)
and appointed Hannah Jeans to the role ot chair of GAP. Hannah hos joined the executive and
has brought a whole new dynamic. The GAP hold their meetings during the week leading up to
the executive and we are passing more and more to them for their opinions before it comes to
the executive. l am so proud of how well this is working, and I feel that we are truly listenlng to
and being led by girls, our young members.

Following a considerable amount of worl intgrnationols are back on the map. We hove updated
our international grants for both adult leaders and our young members so thot mor8
members can take part in overseas adventure. In 2025, trips to Azores and Morocco took place.
This was largely thanks to very successful odult trips to Switzerland and India which were ably
led by Pauline Hall (deputy international lead) ond Tina Powell (international lead volunteer).
Sn April 2026, we will be holding a selection event for adults so that we ore prepared for trfps in
2027 and beyond.
Claire Course has worked extremely hard to fully embed the membership experience
committee. As a team, they are working hord to ensure that communication is a top priority ond
that our members ara listened to so tha¢ as o region, we offer what is wanted. This has led to
takeover events which are planned to take place around the region - not all of our members
can get to Hautbois Activity Centre very easily. Hertfordshire Zoo, a takeover event, took place in
September 2025 and we will be taking over Wicksteed Park in early 2026 and hove o huge
tokeover for Brownies planned at 3 PGL sites in September of 2026.
As our annual subscriptions for this year clos8, we are olready working on next year with
subscriptions looking different. Adult members will no longer be charged. This will have an
impact on our members across the region, and we are working to ensure that we can support
with training for budgeting and to support units financially where necessary.
In 2025, we held our region roadshow so that we could listen to members to hear where they
would like our region to go next and what our members would like from us. This led directly into
writing our strategy for 2026 to 2031 which is called 'For the Girl.. after all they are the reason we
all give our time so freely. Our new strategy is due to be launched later in 2026. Our members
helped us to write it so it's only fair that we shar8 it with them now that it's complete.
Stephanle Arnold. our deputy executlve manager, has worked hard to produce th8 Strategy for
our young members too. down to the youngest Rainbow so please watch this spoce. This led to
writing our business plan in the summer which was shar8d in draft form with members of
the membership experience committee so that lead volunteers and staff portners could come
together and write their action plans for 2026. Soon after this. budgets for all teams were
completed and shored with all. The aim is that reports for budget holders and committees will
be shared regularly. This hos been o huge piece of worK ond l am so thankful for the team
around me who have made this happen.
In March of 2025, Girlguiding Anglia received a sum of money from the DCMS (Department for
Digital, Culture, Media. and Sport). As an executive we challenged tha staff team to set up a
growth plan ond use this fund to not only support growth in 2025 but to look ot what we do as
a region moving forward.

reviewing accounting estimotes for bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk thot we will not detect all
Irregulorities, including those leoding to a moteriol misstatement in the finoncial statements or
non-complionce with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or
regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as
we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is olso greater
regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather thon error, as froud involves intentional
conceolment, forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our
