----- End of picture text -----
1) Loss of, or not enough, uniformed volunteers needed to lead the Group’s sections, which means we cannot recruit new members, offer places to existing members wanting to continue their Scouting journey, and, in extremis, means we may have to close sections. We are continually trying to recruit new volunteers, from our parent community and Isewhere.
2) Damage to our building, e.g. by fire, water or frost, which ould make it either unsafe or completely unusable. As well S comprehensively insuring the premises, we actively identify and mitigate specific risks, e.g. by checking our fire extinguishers and switching off the water supply when the building is empty.
3) Longer term, the Trustee Board is conscious of the need O renew our lease agreement with Trafford Council in 2030. In a worst-case scenario, we are unable to bring our renewal negotiations to a successful outcome, meaning that we would lose our premises. However, negotiations will start some 18 months in advance of the renewal date, so we will be able to uantify the risk and agree mitigations as 2030 approaches.
