|||
||The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit<br>criteria under both the advancement of education and the<br>advancement of citizenship or community development<br>headings.|



|**Section D**|**Achievements and performance**|
|---|---|
|Summary of the main achievements of<br>the charity during the year||
||This year saw the return of face-to-face Scouting following<br>the pandemic. This included a gradual return to socially<br>distanced outdoor activities following carefully designed<br>protocols to minimise the spread of infection. As restrictions<br>were lifted, meetings also moved indoors and camps also<br>resumed for some sections. The year also saw new leaders<br>take over the running of Charnock Cub Pack which will<br>ensure the continued provision of Cubs on a Monday<br>evening.<br>A significant acheivement was the receipt of the DCMS<br>Youth Investment Fund (YIF) grant for the purchase of an<br>additional 17 seat minibus, which will enable transport to be<br>proivide for young people for many years to come, as well<br>as increasing the level of transport that can be provided.<br>Importantly, the minibus can be driven a standard car<br>licence, increasing the number of drivers available.<br>The Scout HQ building and grounds have been brought<br>back into use. An abestos  survey has been undertaken to<br>enable us to manage abestos risks and a maintenace<br>contract is in place for the upkeep of the grounds.|



|**Section E**|**Financial Review**|
|---|---|
|Quantify and explain any designations<br>Brief statement of the charity’s policy on<br>reserves<br>4  LT700001 (3rd December 2018)|**Reserves Policy**<br>The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient<br>resources to continue the charitable activities of the group<br>should income and fundraising activities fall short. The<br>Group Executive Committee considers that the group<br>should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs<br>plus a further amount for unexpected building maintenance<br>and minibus repairs or replacement. This is considered to<br>be circa £33,000, which is increased from last year to allow<br>for current and forecast levels of inflation.<br>The Group held reserves of approximately £57,860 against<br>this at year end. This is above the level required for<br>operating expenses. This includes a £2,472 underspend<br>that will be returned to the DCMS YIF next financial year.<br>Allowing for this and the increase in reserves required due<br>to inflation, the level of reserves has remained broadly the<br>same as lastyear.|

## N/A 

Further financial review details (optional information) 

|You**may choose**to include additional<br>information, where relevant, about:<br>• how expenditure has supported the key<br>objectives of the charity;<br>• the charity’s principal sources of funds<br>(including any fundraising);<br>• investment policy and objectives;|<br> <br>The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank<br>balances and the interest rates received to ensure the<br>group obtains maximum value and income from its banking<br>arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an<br>account that requires a period of notice before funds may<br>be withdrawn, before doing so the Group Executive<br>considers the cash flow requirements.<br> <br>**Investment Policy**<br>The Group's Income and Expenditure is very small and as a<br>consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in<br>longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The<br>Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the<br>investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only<br>mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout<br>Association's Short Term Investment Service.|
