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 centr8 and othèr 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, supporter$ and rnembers. 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 18 primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions 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 of subscriptions to
ncrease the income to the group on an ongoing basis,
either temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant
upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the
group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to
an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as
a whole then there would have to be a contraction.

scenario the complete closure of the Group.

Financial Rcview
Brief statement of the charlty's policy on
reserves
Reserves Poll¢y
The Group's policy on res•rve8 is to hold sufflclent
resources to continue the charitable actlvities of the group
should income and fundraislng activities fall short. The
Group Board of Trustees considers that the group should
hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa
£15,000.
The Group held reserves of approximately £60,000, against
this at year end. This is above the level required for
Operating expenses. However this can be explained by the
generous maintenance grants awarded to the Group in the
last 12 months by the local Council.
