Trustees. Report for the year ended 31 March 2021
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Chaimian's Report
It's been another challenging year for 1 Cro￿[[)￿h and all scout groups, working
wthin govemment aThl the scout as$(￿latIOn guidelines wÉth regards to the Covid
pandemic.
However. our long-standing g￿up is blessed with a fantastic team of leaders,
assisted by enthusiasts"¢ parents, guided by this committee of hard-working members
especially the treasurer and secretary. As a result, the finances are healthy and the
committee has been kept in line actively workn.ng to keep the wheels tuming and
in th8 right direction.
Thankfully all sections are now back up and running, albert with slightly reduced
numbers. I'm sure once the word gets out the youngsters wtll come flcoding back to
join in with the ex￿lIent program of ath'vities plamed for them.
It wasn't easy getting ￿rtain buitding done during lock(k)wn or even geth.ng
together to do the simpler tssks undertaken by adult volunteers from within the
group. The maintenance of the hall surroundings is rKyw beirvJ undertaken for
the benefit of everyone.

needed.

to follow the proc8dures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Ad) and

Basis of independent examlnefs report
My examination was carried out in arLOrdan￿ with the general Directions given by
the Charity Commission. examination indudes a review of the accounting records
kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts preserrted with those reoyds. It
also includes consideration of any unusual items or disdosures in the accounts and
seeking explanations from you as trustees concemin9 any suGh matters. The
procedures undertaken do not w)vide all the evKJence that wouhj te required in an
audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a Irue
and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independenl examinefs statement

1. which gives me reasonable cause to telEve that in, any material rw, the
requirements:
