Control||
|---|---|
|The Group Executive Committee
has identified
the major||
|risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these hav||
|been reviewed
and systems
have been established
to||
|mitigate against them. The main areas ofconcern that have||
|been identified are:||
|Damage to the building,
property
and equipment.
The Group||
|would request the use of buildings,
property
and equipment||
|from neighbouring
organisations
such as the church,||
|community
centre and other Scout Groups. Similar||
|reciprocal arrangements
exist with these organisations.
The||
|Group has sufficient

|reliant upon income from subscriptions
and fundraising.
The||
|group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity

|activities should there be a major reduction
in income. The||

to increase||
|the income to the group on an ongoing
basis, either||
|temporarily
or permanently.||

|volunteers
to run and administer
the activities ofthe group.|If|
