## **COUNCIL'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The Council present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Mid Sussex District Scouts for the year  1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Council have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

Over this year, with the gradual ending of restrictions introduced to control the spread of infections associated with the Coronavirus, normal Scouting activities, including face to face meetings restarted. The impact of the controls did cause a reduction in the membership of both young people and Leaders. These losses have been quickly recovered and our waiting lists for new memberships is growing. We are particularly thankful to our Leaders who managed to maintain Scouting, with meetings outside and via Zoom calls. No District run events took place due to the uncertainty of the restrictions and the loss of some activity spaces, due to closures. 

The District made a £2.50 charge on the Capitation this year, last year we made no charge due to the limited activities during the Covid restrictions. Previous years the capitation was £6.00. 

The District HQ (Redwood Centre) remains open for our use and is let out to a Nursery and a Church Group, plus occasional weekend hirings. MSDC continue with a view to redevelop the whole site, including Claire Hall, currently being used as a Vaccination Centre. We are very involved in the public consultation on the future for the site. Fundraising for the new centre at Barn Cottage Green continued to be put on hold as MSDC have been unable to issue a lease for the land, this due to their pressure of work rather than any fundamental objection. 

Discussions with Mid Sussex District Council on a new site in Burgess Hill continued to be quiet for this period. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Council have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity to maintain free reserves at a level to cover future anticipated expenditure for at least three months.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1. General information** 

Mid Sussex District Scouts is a charity registered in England and Wales, registration number 305841. The principal office addres is 14 Summerhill Grange, Lindfield, West Sussex, RH16 1RQ. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

Mid Sussex District Scouts meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

**MID SUSSEX DISTRICT SCOUTS** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.3 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **2.4 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. . 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

|Long-term leasehold property|- 10% straight line|
|---|---|
|improvements||
|Plant and machinery|- 25% reducing balance|
|Motor vehicles|- 25% reducing balance|
|Equipment|- 25% reducing balance|



## **2.6 Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.7 Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 

## **2.8 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.9 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **2.10 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 

## **2.11 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.12 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Council in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Council for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

## **Aim and use of funds** 

## Designated funds: 

The new Scout hut building fund was set up by the Council in a previous year and relates to an amount set aside for building a new Scout hut in the Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill area. 

The Redwood Centre designated fund was set up in a prior year and includes all rental income received and associated running costs. The fund balance is transfered to the general fund. 

## Restricted funds: 

The badge fund was set up in a prior year and includes all income and costs relating to the provision of Scout badges. The Council made the decision that the cumulative fund balance, which has arisen over many years, should be transferred to the general fund where it can be used against the wider scouting activities. 

The equipment fund was set up in a prior year with a grant provided by West Sussex County Council for equipment purchases.
