Fundraising: A Mayday fundraiser, and Scout Christmas Post collaboration V•ith other local SCOLrt groups were successful and the main source of fundraising for the year. Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year Section E Financial Review Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Reserves Policy The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group Trustee Board considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 6 months running costs for HQ and fixed ¢05ts. this amounts to £6.000 section cost running reserve, and £15.000 HQ & Minibus running resep4e. Quantify and explain any designations The Group held reseNes of approximately £31,000 against this at year end. This is above the level required fo operating expenses. However this can be explained, due to £7,000 being held to pay capitation fees due to the Scout Association in January 2025 (annual membership fees), and circa £25,000 being hdd for the replacement of the group minibus. Details of any funds materially in deficii The Group's Income and Expenditure is very small and as consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-tenn investments such as stocks and shares. The Group 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. Investment Policy The Group Trustee Board regularly monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure the group obtsins maximum value and income from its banking arrangements. Occasionalty this may involve using an account that requires a period of notice before funds may be wrthdrawn, before doing so the Group Trustee Board considers the cash flow requirements.
