THE GUIDE ASSOCIA TION NORTH YORKSHIRE NORTH EAST ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS The Guide Association (Incorporated under Royal Charter dated 14 December 1922 Area NORTH YORKSHIRE NORTH EAST COUNTY Girlguiding Year ended 31sfDECEMBER 2024 Charity Number 507724 The County is a branch of Girlguiding, which with its branches forms the United Kingdom's largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women. A report on Girlguiding's public benefit activities during the previous year can be found in its latest Annual Report. Trustees: The trustees are the Offi￿rs of the County and the voting members of the executive committee, who are appointed by the general membership in accordance with the regulations of the Guide Associats"on. The names of the trustees are listed below. Public Benefrt The trustees complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidan￿ published by the Commission. The County has continued to provide public benefit activities, in particular by providing organisational and administrative support and training to subsidiary branches of Girlguiding within the County, and promoting more broadly the charrtable objects of Girlguiding for trje benefit of girls and young women. Activities The main events of the year were a County day out at the Yorkshire Wildlrfe Park, and two weekends at PGL for Guides and Brownies. Both were well attended and much enjoyed. The County Annual Review vrfas combined with a rnorning of trainings for leaders, and First Response trainings were held throughout the County- Results The County has tradttionally expected its income to cover its costs. This year we have again transferred £2000 to the Propety Fund. Donations and Grants A legacy of £2000 was received from a former member. £500 was received from a film company for disruption caused round Barneybeck camp site. Grants totalling £5200 have been received from the Nights Under the Stars scheme, and a further £2500 from Girlguiding North East England for outdoor activities. Policie8 Investments Most of the fund5 are held in interest earning bank accounts but some are invested in approved funds as shown in the accounts. All investments need the prior approval of the Trustees. Reserves The funds are held for various purposes as shown in the fund summary on page 4. The propety fund forms a firm foundation for the future maintenance of the fabric of the property at Barneybeck and Holme House. The non cash assets are held for use by all members within the County to help in the carrying out of the Guiding programme for girls and young women The county prepares a budget each year before settÈng the level of subscription required. The NYNE part of the subscription has traditionally been set at a level which would provide funds to meet at least that year's running costs along with any other known events or commitrnents, including an annual contribution to the propety fund. Going Concern Our numbers continue to increase but are still well below pre-pandemic levels. However, our reserves are stiii substantial and the County ts still financially stable. Girlguldlng Future Plans We are having a County activity day at Holme house for all sections, including a I￿￿nIght camp for Guides and Rangers around Raitway 200 which celebrates the 200th anniversary of the modern railway, we are working with our neighbours NYMR on the event We are also planning days for our girls to experience the water. In the autumn our volunteers will come together for a sleepover to work on forming a stronger County while growing their guiding experience.
