Reports and Accounts of Girlguiding Surrey East For the year ended 31 December 2020
The trustees of the Girlguiding Surrey East (the County) present its report, together with the financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Background
Girlguiding Surrey East is the operating name of The Guide Association Surrey East and is part of Girlguiding UK. Girlguiding UK, as part of a worldwide movement, enables girls and young women to fulfil their potential to take an active and responsible role in society through a distinctive, stimulating and enjoyable programme of activities delivered by volunteer leaders.
Girlguiding UK is organised into Regions, Counties, Divisions and Districts. Ranger, Guide, Brownie and Rainbow Units are organised into Districts, which form Divisions, which make up a County. Counties make up Regions.
The Executive Committee for Girlguiding Surrey East is a committee approved by Girlguiding UK for the management of the Association’s affairs in Surrey East.
The County Executive Committee is responsible for the direction and general development of the principles, aims, policies, organisation, rules and guidelines of The Guide Association as set out in the Royal Charter and Bye-laws, and the current editions of the Guiding Manual, the Guiding Handbook and the current programme for young members in each section.
Girlguiding in Surrey East benefits girls between the ages of 5 and 26, promoting their education to help them develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so that they can make a positive contribution to their community and the wider world.
Public Benefit Statement
The Executive Committee confirms that it has taken due regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising its powers or duties.
Financial Review
Introduction
The accounts have been made up to the end of December 2020.
The accounts have been drawn up in a format consistent with that required by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities Accounts (the SORP 2015). Since 2017, when gross income exceeded £250,000 the accounts were prepared under the accruals basis (previously the accounts had been prepared on a receipts and payments basis). Payments for fixed assets made at Faurefold have been capitalised and will be expensed to the income statement systematically over 20 years.
The SORP requires all money received and paid to be split between restricted and unrestricted funds and requires incoming and outgoing resources to be classified against standard headings. The primary statements comprise a statement of financial activities and a statement of financial position. Details are provided in the notes where appropriate. In addition note 5 analyses the accounts by activity.
Overview
Total incoming resources amounted to £59,924 compared to £88,189 in 2019. Resources used totalled £59,305 (including £20,000 of depreciation) compared to £64,589. The decrease in income relates to the reduced activity caused by the Covid-19 pandemic moderated by the receipt of government grants. Overall net incoming resources were £619.0 and total funds of the County increased from £472,059 to £472,678. Assets primarily comprise fixed assets paid for in 2017 with a current net book value of £363,630.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds have decreased to £348,800 from £368,749 and primarily comprise the balance on the Faurefold account of £348,682 (2019:£368,630).
Other restricted funds comprise the balance remaining on a legacy received in 1999 to be used for the purchase of Guiders’ or girls’ uniforms in cases of need.

Faurefold fundraising
The total on the Faurefold fund at 31 December 2020 was £357,343 comprising £348,682 within restricted funds and £8,661 earmarked within unrestricted funds. Historical donations and grants received specifically for Faurefold, and an element of subscriptions had been treated as restricted funds and consequently the use of that money to pay for the Faurefold buildings and recorded as a fixed asset is also shown within restricted funds. Unrestricted funds comprise the net excess of income over expenditure on operations at Faurefold and amounts earmarked by the Committee for future maintenance.
In 2020, Covid-19 support grants from the government were received of £11,334.
General fund
Excluding restricted funds and receipts and payments earmarked for specific purposes, the net increase in the general fund in the year was £21,273 (2019:£18,098).
Reserves Policy
The Committee aims to maintain reserves equivalent to three times average normal cash annual expenditure. Additionally, the Committee has earmarked the net excess of income over expenditure in relation to the Centenary celebrations as a fund for defraying the costs of guiding in cases of hardship, the balance of which is currently £8,291 (2019:£8,291).
Governance
The most recent Girlguiding Surrey East County constitution was approved on 10 September 2019 and sets out the responsibilities of trustees and committees.
The Executive Committee is delegated with the responsibility of general administration of Girlguiding Surrey East. It meets at least three times a year and will consider reports from other committees, financial reports and other items according to a fixed agenda. Minutes are maintained of the meetings. A budget is prepared once a year at which time the resources required for the following year and the County levy on the subscription fee is agreed. Separate financial systems are in place for Faurefold, Programme and Training, International and Badges. Their results are consolidated in these accounts.
The Executive Committee members and the District Commissioners are made aware of their responsibilities as trustees. The Executive Committee can and does call upon the professional expertise available from LaSER and Girlguiding HQ when required.
Trustee indemnity insurance is paid for by the County.
Risk Management
The Committee has taken active measures to reduce risk. The Committee is insured through the main insurance policies in place to cover all Guiding activities. The fixed assets at Faurefold are insured. Financial risk is minimised through the regular reports on finances to the Committee, the budgeting process and the procedures in place to ensure the propriety of bookkeeping.

Reports and Accounts of Girlguiding Surrey East For the year ended 31 December 2020
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2020 , which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
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.
