o|| |Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe||||charity|2020 has been a challenging
year for everybody.
Face-to-Face
meetings ceased at the end of March and, apart from a short|| |during the|year||||period where we were allowed to meet outside, stayed|| ||||||suspended
all year. Our Leaders rose to the challenge
and|| ||||||immediately
started to deliver scouting
using virtual meetings.|| ||||||The general response was extremely
positive and we are|| ||||||confident
that continuing
to deliver the programme|| ||||||contributed
to the mental
well-being
of our young people,|| ||||||and Leaders.|| ||||||As we continued
to deliver scouting,
we were able to continue|| ||||||collecting subscription
fees —though
we did ensure
all parents|| ||||||were able to make use ofour hardship
funding
where
it was|| ||||||needed.|| ||||||We were also forced to close the premises to all users and lost the|| ||||||planned
income.|| ||||||We were eligible for government
grants —which mitigated
the loss|| ||||||in income.|| ||||||With the closure ofthe facilities were able to commence
the|| ||||||building
ofthe new Scout Hut —demolition

the difficult circumstances
very well—| ||||||||mainly due to the support ofour parents
and the exceptional| ||||||||contribution
ofour Leaders.| |Brief statement
ofthe charity's
policy on reserves|||||||The Group's
policy on reserves
is to hold sufficient resources to
continue
the charitable
activities ofthe group should income and
fundraising
activities
fall short. Additionally,
due to the nature of| ||||||||Holt Island, the Group holds reserves to fund maintenance
and| ||||||||repair work as required.
The Group Executive Committee| ||||||||considers that the group should
hold a sum equivalent
to6 months| ||||||||running
costs, plus F10,000 circa 616,000.| |Quantify and
designations||explain|||||Ifthe reserves at year end are significantly
above this, the Group
Executive may designate
an amount
towards the Hut Fund project.| |Details ofany funds|||||materially|in|None| |deficit|||||||| |Further financial||||review details|||(Optional

most continued
to operate
virtually.
Subscription| ||||||||income was reduced
with some young members
leaving
the group| ||||||||and not inviting
new members
to join during
this period.| ||||||||The group was unable to fundraise
during 2020.| ||||||||After March, the premises
were closed to all users therefore
no| ||||||||funds were generated
from hire.| ||||||||Fortunately,
we were able to claim support grants
from the various| ||||||||government
schemes and this made
up for the shortfall.| |How expenditure||||has|supported||Most income is spent on:| |the key objectives||||of|the charity;||running

The Group has therefore adopted a risk averse
