Reports and Accounts of Girlguiding Surrey East For the year ended 31 December 2024

The trustees of the Girlguiding Surrey East (‘the County’) present its report, together with the financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Background

Girlguiding Surrey East is the operating name of the County of Surrey East Guide Association 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. Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Ranger units may be organised into districts, which form divisions, which make up a county which aligns to a county/region.

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 application of the principles, aims, policies, organisation, rules and guidelines of The Guide Association as set out in the Royal Charter and Bye-laws as defined on the Girlguiding UK website.

Girlguiding in Surrey East benefits girls between the ages of 4 and 18, 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 2024.

The accounts have been drawn up in a format consistent with that required by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities Accounts (the SORP 2019). Since 2017, when gross income exceeded £250,000 the accounts are 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 expensed to the income statement systematically over 5 to 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.

Reports and Accounts of Girlguiding Surrey East For the year ended 31 December 2024

Overview

Total incoming resources amounted to £182,304 compared to £42,672 in 2023. The increase arises because of a receipt of a legacy to Faurefold of £110,000 as well as increased activity. Resources used totalled £115,307 (including £28,000 of depreciation) compared to £60,619 in 2023. Overall net incoming resources were £66,997 and total funds of the County increased from £454,540 to £521,537. Assets primarily comprise fixed assets paid for in 2017 with a current net book value of £296,952 (2023: £ 324,952) and cash of £222,338 (2023: £129,529).

Restricted funds

Restricted funds have increased to £407,682 from £325,682, primarily because of a legacy received of £110,000 which more than offsets depreciation on historical assets. Restricted funds largely comprise the balance on the Faurefold account of £407,016 (2023:£325,016).

Other restricted funds comprise the balance remaining on a legacy received in 1999 to be used for the purchase of volunteers’ and young members’ uniforms in cases of need.

Faurefold fundraising

The total on the Faurefold fund at 31 December 2024 was £430,876 comprising £407,016 within restricted funds and £23,859 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. In 2024 legacy of £110,000 was received from the estate of the late Margaret Alice Woolley “for the benefit of Faurefold hut”. Unrestricted funds comprise the net excess of income over expenditure on operations at Faurefold and amounts earmarked by the Committee for future maintenance.

General fund

Excluding restricted funds and receipts and payments earmarked for specific purposes, the net decrease in the general fund from current year transactions in the year was £22,393 (2023:£7,070 decrease).

Reserves Policy

The Committee aims to maintain reserves in unrestricted funds 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 to aid inclusivity, the balance of which is currently £7,594 (2023:£7,768).

Governance

The most recent Girlguiding Surrey East County constitution was approved on 16 November 2022 and sets out the responsibilities of trustees and committees.

Surrey East Guide Association – Charity Number 305818

Reports and Accounts of Girlguiding Surrey East For the year ended 31 December 2024

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 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 region 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. Trustee indemnity insurance is paid for by the County. 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.

Going Concern

Taxation

The County is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. The charity is not registered for VAT and as such, expenditure is shown inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Resources used

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the County to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Girlguiding Surrey East (‘the County’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 , which are set out on pages 5 to 10.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the County, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the County’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the County as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
