REPORT AND ACCOUNTS
for the year ended 31 DECEMBER 2020
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Butchers Coppice Scout Campsite
I report on the accounts of Butchers Coppice Scout Campsite for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 3 to 6.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes the consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Annual Report 2020
2020 was a very different year for Butchers Coppice, as it was for most charities, as Covid-19 became a reality and the world went in to lockdown in the Spring, which had a significant impact, as everything came to a halt and our operations closed down.
Despite the closure of the centre in the Spring of 2020 we were blessed to have Government support from the Small Business Grant Fund and Job Retention Scheme, which meant that we were able to cover our operational costs, keep things ticking over and still retain sufficient reserves to keep us going in to 2021.
Our other centres; Perch Pool, Iford Scout Centre and Iford Boathouse, we also impacted by the same challenges – there was very little activity but we have been able to, again, keep everything ticking along.
Finally, Bournemouth Scout Shop was also closed for the majority of the year.
