NORTH DEVON DIgfRIcf SCOUT COUNCIL TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) Financial review During the year, the planned Transformation for Scouting nationally came into effect. This meant a nun]ber of changes in the way that we operate as well as managing a new membership system and more eMpl1S on governate for our Trustee Boards, forn]erly known &8 Executive Comn]ittees. However, the charity continues to keep the young peopIe at the heart of our core PUTpose. With the support of adult volunteers and the tnEstees the charity has been able to provide fun atMI adventurous activities in a safe manr for our young people. Adult volunteers continues to be the charity's key asset without them none of the success from the charity's activAties could be Achieved. The charity is fortunate to own Collard Bridge Campsite. a key asset in the clwity's activities to achieve its objectives. The sifr continues to offtr young people both locally and from afar, the ability trj camp and take part in adventurous activities. The 2025 financial year was a successful year for the campsite with an increase in site bookings and activities although costs to nuintain the site are also rising year on year. The can]psite team was able to generak a surplus of £9.(XX) which will enable future development of the sik to proceed. Once again we showcased Scouting alongside our Girlguiding friends, at the North Devon Gang Show at the IAndmark Theatre in Ilfracombe during Febrnary half term. The show was able to aLhieve its nuin objectives to allow young people the opportunity to perforni on a professional stage. with 70 young people and leaders taking part in the show. Despite rising costs in the theatre industry, the show was able to return a surplus of £2,3(M) due to the hard work of the Gang show team made up over 30 volunteers. Another successful year for both the Taw and Torridge Explorer units. Many of the young people taking part in Ten Tors and the Duke of Edinburgh awards as well as some young people working towards their King's Scout Award. Our census figures for 2025 show a small increase in rnembership at 2.8% from 907 in 2024 to 933 in 2025. This is broadly in line with the expectations of the trustees. Support has been given to 1st North Devon Scout Group in order for them to open 2 new scout units in the year of which the trustees are pleased to see. Policy on reserves It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted fillS which have not been designated for a specific use should Ir maintained at a level equivalent to the charity's expendittire for 24 months. The level of these reserves is carefully detern]ined to ensure that there are sufficient resources to sustain the District's core clwitable activities in the event that income or fundraising fall short. If the reserve level falls below the established target. the District Trustee Board will take proactive steps to restore it to the required level within 12 months, ensuring fula1 stability and the continued support of the District activities. This level of reserves has been maintai[d throughout the year. Pnncipalfvnding sources The principal funding source continues to be membership subscriptions. Page 3
