REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

for the year ended 31 DECEMBER 2021

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 2021, 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:

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

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 2021

After a very challenging couple of years, as we lived through the Covid-19 pandemic, 2021 was the start of Butchers Coppice bouncing back, as things started to “get back to normal”. After many months of lockdown, people were very keen to get back outdoors and take part in a range of activities and residential experiences where they were able.

As the year unfolded and restrictions eased the usual mix of groups came back to make use of the facilities including Scout and Guide groups, schools, colleges and universities, cadets, life-saving groups, local council youth and community services groups, local religious groups, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award groups, sports clubs, home education groups, international students, Boys and Girls Brigade groups, child and adult birthday parties and adult teambuilding days. The site continues to welcome young people and young adults with complex needs.

Whilst things started to pick back up, a cautious approach was taken in 2021 and no new activities were added or any major changes made.

Our other centres; Perch Pool, Iford Scout Centre and Iford Boathouse, all continue to tick along. The 35th Bournemouth Scouts continue to look after the day to day upkeep of Perch Pool – our thanks to the Scout Group and, in particular to Jeremy Sullivan, who acts as the site warden. Iford Boathouse remains “sublet” to Bournemouth Rowing Club, who use the Boathouse as their temporary base. We do not charge Bournemouth Rowing Club to use this facility. Iford Scout Centre was sad to say goodbye to Iford Preschool but has later welcomed Kings Castle Montessori School. The 32nd Bournemouth Scout Group and Super Nova Explorer Scout Unit continue to meet regularly at the site.

Bournemouth Scout Shop made a come-back as Scouting re-started across the area.
