TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.
Objectives and Activities
The primary purpose of the Norfolk Guide Association is to promote Girlguiding in Norfolk.
Girlguiding, as part of a worldwide movement, is a girl-only organisation, dedicated to creating a better world for girls and young women and enabling them to develop their full potential. We aim to build girls’ confidence, give them space to grow and ensure that each one can get involved, no matter what her background or ability.
Public Benefit
-
The Trustees of Girlguiding Norfolk County accept the need to have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They recognise that it is their responsibility to ensure that the benefits offered are realised in Norfolk by promoting all aspects of guiding within the county, both within the membership and in the wider community.
-
The organisation believes in being fair, open, and inclusive, making guiding available to every girl and woman who wants to take part. Girlguiding Norfolk County holds three Guide Aid funds to provide financial assistance to those (both volunteers and young people) who wish to attend guiding events but are unable to fund the full cost themselves. In addition, a Financial Assistance Fund and a Sustainability Fund are available to give assistance to units, districts or divisions.
Main objectives for the year.
The county’s objectives for 2022 were:
-
To raise awareness of Girlguiding Norfolk across the county to encourage more young people and adult volunteers to join us.
-
To re-establish guiding after the Covid-19 pandemic, providing encouragement and financial assistance where necessary.
-
To recognise and celebrate achievements of our young members and adult volunteers.
-
To work to enable more girls to have access to a good guiding experience and to improve our young member retention rates.
-
To ensure that trustee and commissioner leadership is effective at all levels.
-
To support all adult volunteers in carrying out their roles.
-
To show commitment to our employees as they carry out their work to support the county.
-
To manage county resources and processes effectively and efficiently.
-
To continue to develop our County Archive Resource Centre (ARC) as a county resource.
-
To celebrate the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
At the beginning of 2022 the outlook was still quite uncertain as a result of the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Gradually the position improved and units were able to return to a more varied programme of activities, some meeting for the first time since early 2020.
Membership began to increase again after the reduction during the pandemic and, although it has not yet returned to pre-Covid levels, there is an upward trend which, hopefully, will continue into 2023.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Achievements and Performance
One of the highlights of the year was the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and many units took part in street parties, fetes and other events in their local communities. The county held a very successful Jubilee event at Patteson Lodge, prior to the lighting of the Jubilee beacon at Hautbois House later the same evening, and received a substantial amount of TV, radio and press coverage.
Girlguiding Norfolk also participated in the Break charity GoGo Discover sculpture trail by sponsoring a mini T-rex dinosaur. As the result of a competition the dinosaur was named Girlguideasaurus. We were fortunate to be able to partner with an independent local bookshop in Norwich, who designed and painted the dinosaur and displayed it in the shop over the summer. Special badges were available to buy, and a small amount from each badge sold was donated to Break.
Unit summer activities included activity days, outings, camps and holidays, many of which were possible for the first time since 2019. On a sunny afternoon in April, Girlguiding Norwich was proud to declare its new building at Keswick Campsite officially open after many years of fundraising efforts.
The county once again shared a stand with Norfolk Scouts at the Royal Norfolk Show and participated in the Sandringham Flower Show, celebrating the centenary of Sandringham Guides. The county was fortunate to be positioned on the ‘royal route’ and received a visit from King Charles III and the Queen Consort.
Many units across the county took part in the Platinum Jubilee Norfolk Challenge Award, promoted by the Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, which was aimed at making a significant contribution to the Norfolk community as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations and beyond. Participants received badges and certificates recognising their achievements and featured regularly in the Platinum Jubilee Norfolk News E-Newsletter. In the autumn units also commemorated the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
During Volunteers’ Week in June a mailout with a special badge was again sent to all 1,500 volunteers in the county to thank them for all they were doing. An afternoon tea was also held for County VicePresidents.
1st Response trainings were delivered across the county, and several of the county’s trustees took part in a virtual trustee training session in November. Most committee meetings continued to take place online although the first face-to-face trustees’ meeting for over two years was held at Pensthorpe Natural Park in July.
New Rainbow and Brownie units were set up in Holt, re-introducing guiding to an area where it had been absent for many years. A new Guide unit has also been established in Hingham and similar work is continuing in other areas of the county.
The county’s online shop, which began trading at the end of 2020, continued to go from strength to strength and made a surplus of approximately £1,500 in the year, a very welcome addition to the county’s income.
During 2022, Girlguiding Norfolk joined the Sir Norman Lamb Coalition for children and young people. The Coalition is open to voluntary or social enterprise organisations providing services in Norfolk to children and young people in the 0-25 years age range and who actively contribute to their wellbeing. As we have a membership of 5,000 young people we have a valuable contribution to make to this agenda and we are already making connections with other youth organisations in Norfolk. One of the first outcomes is that we have joined in with Norfolk County Council’s FLOURISH project, the aim of which is for Norfolk to be a county where all children and young people can flourish.

Achievements and Performance (continued)
Patteson Lodge and Campsite
Patteson Lodge and campsite hosted many guide and brownie holidays and camps during 2022, which for many of the young people was their first residential guiding experience. The campsite was particularly popular and hosted a number of groups from outside the county.
In July 2022 Patteson Lodge celebrated 40 years as a guiding centre with a garden party, the planting of an acer tree and a special commemorative badge. An oak tree has also been planted in the grounds to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee and in memory of our Patron, Queen Elizabeth II. A new mosaic was also installed by the front door.
Archive Resource Centre (ARC)
The year began with the completion of the ARC Heritage Lottery project and the publication of the final evaluation report.
In June the ARC’s participation in the Norfolk Record Office heritage lottery funded Community Archives Project – Skills, Support and Sustainability also came to an end with an event held at Norfolk County Record Office for participants to discuss their achievements and consider the way forward. During the event, there was the opportunity to take a tour of the Record Office’s archive facilities, learn about other archives who participated in the project, and share archiving tips.
During 2022 the ARC received National Archives Testbed funding to establish a display showcasing Girlguiding Norfolk’s royal connections and the late Queen Elizabeth II’s involvement in guiding. This travelled to several events around the county and beyond, including the Royal Norfolk Show, Sandringham Flower Show, Worstead Festival, Foxlease Heritage week, Girlguiding headquarters in London and the Bishop of Norwich’s Open Garden. Objects from the ARC were also lent to Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome where they formed part of the Guiding the Empire exhibition and have been on display since April 2022.
The ARC participated once again in Heritage Open Days, held a 1940’s camp at Gressenhall in August and took part in Poppyline in North Norfolk in September.
During the year the ARC was accepted to work towards the Arts Council England UK Museum Accreditation Scheme, which will give opportunities for support, both in developing skills and financially with the possibility of applying for grants.
Financial Review
The financial results for the year are shown on pages 11-29 of this report.
The total income received in 2022 was £136,971, compared with £114,080 in 2021.
The main sources of income were:
-
£ 46,389 from Patteson Lodge booking fees
-
£ 46,788 from membership subscriptions
Expenditure in the year totalled £139,312 (£123,671 in 2021).

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Financial Review (continued)
There was a deficit for the year of £2,341, compared with a deficit of £9,591 in 2021. The overall position for 2022 includes a surplus of £1,406 on the General Fund (after transferring £12,000 to a designated fund for distribution to divisions in 2023) and a deficit of £5,533 at Patteson Lodge. A deficit of £10,654 on the ARC Fund (principally due to depreciation), an increase of £15,877 on other designated funds and a net deficit of £3,437 on restricted funds resulted in the final position.
Girlguiding Norfolk set a balanced budget for 2022 and an increase by Girlguiding headquarters meant that the county subscription rose by £1.70. For the second year divisions did not receive any income through subscriptions.
The ongoing changes in the running of the county have again contributed to a surplus on the General Fund in 2022. However, a number of significant maintenance issues have been identified at Patteson Lodge, including the replacement of the fire escape staircase, new lighting and hard bases for the picnic tables, and these will need to be addressed in 2023.
The trustees consider that Girlguiding Norfolk County currently remains in a stable financial position but the budget will continue to be closely monitored. There have been no material changes in the policies of the Association since the last annual report.
How expenditure has supported the key objectives of the Charity
Over £18,000 was allocated to divisions to be used to support units as they considered appropriate.
Over £6,000 was spent on leadership support and training.
Over £16,000 was spent on repairs and maintenance and renewal of equipment at Patteson Lodge.
Reserves Policy
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income, and to cover unplanned emergency expenditure. The availability of reserves has been particularly important in the past two years and it is the policy of the Association to maintain sufficient reserves to:
-
(a) Provide support for the development of Girlguiding within the county.
-
(b) Cover any essential costs if potential income is reduced.
-
(c) Meet any additional costs or reductions in income resulting from cost of living increases.
-
(d) Meet administration, support and training costs, including the purchase of equipment and any future requirement for employing paid staff.
-
(e) Cover the operation and staffing of the Patteson Lodge Activity Centre and the ARC, including the potential cost of employing contractors during the current period of staff changes.
-
(f) Be able to meet repairs, improvements and other expenditure as necessary in connection with any of the county’s properties and the Eaton Vale Scout and Guide Activity Centre.
-
(g) Support major events within the county and meet any deficits arising from them where necessary.
-
(h) Implement any requirements arising from regional or national initiatives and keep up to date with changes as necessary.
-
(i) Implement any changes required as a result of new legislation.
-
(j) Meet any unforeseen contingencies.
The level of general unrestricted free reserves amounted to £123,984 at the year-end (£122,124 in 2021) This will be monitored on a regular basis by the trustees at the meetings of the County Executive Committee.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Financial Review (continued)
Reserves Policy (continued)
The level of reserves the trustees have in the past considered necessary to meet the above has amounted to around £120,000 in an average year, representing an estimate of 12 months’ operating costs. However, costs in 2022 have remained lower, and the estimate of 12 months’ operating costs has reduced to around £100,000. Efforts being made in the county to restrict expenditure may keep them at a lower level for some time, although changes relating to the management of our buildings may require additional funding. The trustees acknowledge that the ongoing effect of the Covid -19 pandemic may continue to impact on the charity’s operations and activities and the situation will continue to be kept under close review.
Free reserves which have been designated for other purposes, including Patteson Lodge, Guide Aid/Guide Aid Plus and the ARC amounted to £154,968. All earmarked funds will initially be retained for their original purpose, subject to review if that becomes necessary in the longer term.
The funding received from Girlguiding Anglia Region as grants for Learning and Development, Sustainability and Recruitment has been accounted for as restricted. Restricted Funds currently total £3,687.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal sources of income for the General Fund in 2022 have been subscriptions, investment interest and income from the online shop.
The principal sources of income for Patteson Lodge during the year have been booking fees from the hire of the lodge and campsite.
The principal sources of income for the ARC during the year were the National Archives Testbed funding grant, retail sales and archive activity sessions.
Investment Policy
During 2022 the Trustees agreed that investments should continue to be kept relatively short-term in the light of the continued uncertain outlook. Fixed deposits with United Trust bank were reinvested as follows:
-
£45,382 in a 12 month Fixed Deposit, at a rate of 1.3% maturing in April 2023
-
£38,143 in a 12 month Fixed Deposit, at a rate of 1.25% maturing in January 2023
A 90-day notice account was opened during the year with the Hinckley and Rugby Building Society and the remaining funds are currently invested in a Barclays Premium account, COIF Charity Funds, and a Cambridge and Counties bank 31 day notice account. The position will continue to be monitored during 2023 in the light of the county’s current financial circumstances.

Risk Management
The trustees review the major risks to which the charity is exposed on a regular basis and have established systems to mitigate those risks. Their findings are detailed in the charity’s Risk Register document, which has been updated in 2022 at each trustees’ meeting. In addition, specific and detailed Risk Assessments are required to run outdoor and indoor unit meetings and special events.
Connected Charity
Eaton Vale Scout and Guide Activity Centre Limited is a connected charity and is established as a joint enterprise between the Norfolk Guide Association and the Norfolk Scout Association.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORFOLK GUIDE ASSOCIATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

NORFOLK GUIDE ASSOCIATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. Accounting policies
(a) General information and basis of accounting
Norfolk Guide Association is an unincorporated charitable association, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 8 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities is outlined within the Trustees’ Annual Report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
(b) Fund accounting
-
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
-
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
-
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
(c) Income recognition
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Donations and legacies received by way of grants and donations are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Legacies are included in the Statements of Financial Activities when the Charity becomes aware of its entitlement to the gift and the amount involved can be quantified.
-
The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Income from trading income is accounted for when earned.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
(d)
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model.
Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the charity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which they become receivable.
Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.
(e)
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity’s shop.
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include independent examiner’s fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
-
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly. Other costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
(f) Fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold property ARC building depreciated over 25 years on a straight line basis. Patteson Lodge is not depreciated (held at residual value). Standard Not depreciated Equipment 3, 5 or 10 years on a straight line basis

1. Accounting policies (continued)
(g) Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
(h) Pension costs
Contributions to the Charity’s defined contribution pension scheme (a stakeholder scheme) are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they become payable.
(i) Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(j) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less.
(k) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
