## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 01 04 2022 To 31 03 2023** ## **Charity name: 3[rd] Staines Scout Group** ## **Charity registration number: 305796** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objectives of the group are as a unit of the
Scout Association.
The Aim of The Scout Association is to promote the
development of young people in achieving their full
physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials,
as individuals, as responsible citizens and as
members of their local national and international
communities.
The method of achieving the Aim of the Association
is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme
of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise
and Law andguided byadult leadership.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|We have provided a full and active programme
across all 3 sections all year.
We have maintained a good balance between our
plans for improvement of the premises, cash fow
and fund raising with concentration on leadership
and recruitment.
Subscriptions are charged for membership to cover
immediate running costs of the Group and these do
not unduly restrict membership. The Group follows
the principle that no one should be excluded
because of their inability to pay membership
subscriptions.
Two key principles demonstrate that Scouting's
aims are for the public beneft are that through the
Scout method young people develop towards their
full potential and that there is a clear link between
the benefts for young people and the purpose of
Scouting.
The safety of young people is taken very seriously
and the benefts Scouting activities provide far
outweigh the risks. Any private benefts from
Scouting are incidental, other than to those as a
benefciary.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|All Trustees have undertaken appropriate training as
part of their induction into the Scout Organisation.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: SORP reference **N/A** Para 1.38 Policy on grant making **N/A** Para 1.38 Policy on social investment including program related investment **N/A** Para 1.38 Contribution made by volunteers **N/A** Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main

charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|This year has seen the group re-establish a more
normal programme of activity, post the COVID lock
down restrictions. Member numbers have increased
as a result of this return to normality.
Resumed programmes/camps running well, with
good engagement and support from parents. During
the year the Scout section fnally made it on their
long delayed trip to Switzerland, which was a huge
success.
We have further improved lighting outside the
building and replaced many lights within the
headquarters. Two windows have also been
replaced.

very lucky to have such a committed group of
people delivering its excellent programme who are
committedtomaximisingthe Group’sresources.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|At the end of the year the Group held just over
£70,000 in respect of Unrestricted Funds, more than
would normally be considered necessary. Normality
post COVID has now been largely achieved, however
the Trustees continue to monitor the Group's
reserves and will act as required. There are minimal

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|
Para 1.47|
The principal sources of income are membership
subscriptions, fundraising (supported by Gift Aid)
and occasional grants.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|The Group's Income and Expenditure is relatively
small and therefore does not have sufcient funds to
invest in longer-term investments such as stocks
and shares. The Group has therefore adopted a low-
risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds
are held in cash using only mainstream banks or
building societies or The Scout Association's Short
Term Investment Service.| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The Group Executive Committee has identifed the
major risks to which they believe the Group is
exposed, these have been reviewed and systems
have been established to mitigate against them.
The main areas of concern that have been identifed
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 sufcient
buildings and contents insurance in place
to mitigate against permanent loss, Injury
to leaders, helpers, supporters and
members. The Groupthrough 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
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
increase 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,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the
worst case scenario the complete closure of
the Group.

Reduction or loss of members. The Group
provides activities for all young people
aged 6 to 14. If there was a reduction in
membership in a particular section or the
group as whole then there would have to
be a contraction, consolidation or closure of
a section. In the worst case scenario the
complete closure of the Group.
The Group has in place systems of internal controls
that are designed to provide reasonable assurance
against material mismanagement or loss, these
include 2 signatories for all payments and a
comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that
insurable risks are covered.| |---|---|---| |Other||**N/A**| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
