UNITS OF THE KIDLINGTON GIRL GUIDES Charity number 308141
GIRLGUIDING KIDLINGTON ANNUAL REPORT September 2020 – August 2021
INTRODUCTION
Girlguiding Kidlington District has a history going back over 80 years. Our meetings are held at the Guide Centre, in Green Road which is in the heart of our village. Thirteen years ago we decided to begin the process of fundraising to replace our Guide Centre as this was originally built many years ago as a temporary structure with a 25 year life span. Work began on this project in January 2018 and the new building was officially opened by Amanda Medler, our Chief Guide in February 2019.
UNIT NEWS
We have a strong Leadership team, with a healthy mix of experienced Leaders and new Leaders in training, this strong team allows us to run 2 Rainbow Units, 5 Brownie Packs, 3 Guide Companies, Horizon Rangers (Senior Section) and a thriving Trefoil Guild. Unit numbers continue to be fairly constant despite there being numerous other organisations and activities available in our village.
All members pay a weekly subscription fee that covers the unit running costs (activities, materials etc), the annual census fee and termly rent to our Centre management committee. This subscription fee is reviewed annually and only raised if costs can’t be covered, ensuring we offer real value for money to our members at the lowest charge, whilst keeping aligned with subscription fees of similar organisations (e.g. Scouts).
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS
All units pay rent to our Centre Management committee, which is annually reviewed and budgeted to cover running and maintenance costs for the forthcoming year. This careful management, planning and budgeting allows us to ensure that enough remains in our management account at the end of the year to cover repairs, whilst not running at a profit. This in turn keeps unit rents as low as possible, so subscriptions can be used to run exciting activities for our members.
FUND RAISING
We continue to fundraise for the rebuild project as we received a significant loan from our local Council, which allowed us t o commence the rebuilding of our Centre in January 2018 and we need to repay the local council for the borrowed funds. Our fundraising income has decreased recently with the Covid-19 lockdowns and cancellation of our main events such as our Summer Fete and Christmas Fayre but we hope to continue our fundraising as soon as we can do so safely.
