been identified are:
Damage tothe 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 buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss.
injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group Is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptlons and fundraising The group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee could raise the value ofsubscriptions to increase the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either
temporarily or permanently,
Reduction or loss ofleaders. The group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities ofthe group If there was a reduction in the number ofleaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure ofa section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities or all young people aged 6to 18.Ifthere was a reduction in embership in a particular section or the group as whole en there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or osure ofa section. In the worst case scenario the complete

Briefstatement ofthe charity's policy on
reserves			Reserves Policy
			The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the grouP should income and fundraising activities fall shorL The Group Executive Committee considers that the group shou d I hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa
			210,000.
			The Group held reserves of approximately f40,000, against this at year end. This is above the level required for operating expenses. However this can be explained by the generous Covid Relief grants awarded to the Group in the last 12months by the local Council.
