Cheshire Border County Guides Association

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 charity's formal name is Cheshire Border County Guides Association. Its operational name is Girlguiding Cheshire Border and is often referred to in this report as the County. The charity's governing document is the Guide Association Royal Charter of 1922. The Royal Charter and byelaws, the Guiding Manual (4th edition), various Handbooks and the County Constitution together determine how the charity is governed.

The Guide Association (known as Girlguiding) Charity No. 30616

The Guide Association North West England (the Region) Charity No. 521694

Cheshire Border County Guides Association (the County) incorporating Egerton Hall

Divisions 4

Districts 17

Units 205

Cheshire Border County Guides Association is constituted as a branch of the Guide Association in accordance with the Royal Charter, and has the status of a Girlguiding County with North West Region of the Guide Association. The structural organisation of the Guide Association is linked through:

a) The appointment of Commissioners and Guiders. The County Commissioner is appointed by the Region Chief Commissioner and is an ex officio voting member of the Region Executive Committee. The County Commissioner appoints the Division Commissioners within the County and the Division Commissioners are ex officio voting members of the County Executive Committee

b) Shared commitments to the objects of the Royal Charter and adherence to the rules and regulations set out in the Guiding Manual and Association handbooks.

Within Girlguiding and as accepted by the Charity Commissioners, the various organisational levels retain separate identity for charity registration and accounting purposes. Accordingly, no consolidated accounts are prepared, and the County accounts do not include the transactions or assets and liabilities of any Division, District or Unit within the County.

The financial administration of the County is subject to the Rules and other provisions of the Guiding Manual and charity law.

The Charity Trustees of Cheshire Border County Guides Association have delegated particular responsibility for Egerton Hall at Rosthern to a sub-committee. The property title to the Egerton Hall is held by the Girl Guide Trust Corporation in trust for Cheshire Border. The arrangements are based on the trusts of the Guide Association 1938 Trust Deed, under which the Trust Corporation acts at the direction of the County Executive Committee in regard to the property. The day to day management and administration of the centre is the responsibility of the sub-committee.

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report for the year ended 31 December 2020.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

COVID-19 in 2020

At 1pm on 26 March 2020, The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 came into force and the first National Lockdown, a preventative measure to stop the spread of COVID-19, began. Throughout 2020, a series of social restrictions and health prevention measures made the pursuit of our Aims and Objectives very challenging but, during these times of uncertainty, Girlguiding Cheshire Border continued to offer experiences and support for girls and young women.

Our volunteers have been keeping members connected with their weekly unit meetings with 48% of volunteers recently surveyed delivering 'virtual guiding', allowing hundreds of girls to continue to have fun and learn new skills and keep in touch with their friends.

Significant events for young people:

County Rainbow Sparkle Day Sunday, 2 February 2020. 275 girls attended and feedback from leaders/girls and parents was very positive. They enjoyed a day of arts, craft, science and physical fun.

A Celebration of Cheshire Border Guiding Adventures 2019 - 27 February 2020. This event showcased the numerous opportunities there are in our county for Having an Adventure, locally and internationally.

Virtual meetings Our County Lockdown survey showed that our volunteers began delivering virtual meetings (using such platforms as Zoom/WebEx/Go To Meeting) within 1-2 weeks of the first national lockdown. By May 2020, almost one third of all our units had begun embracing technology and delivering their meetings virtually.

100 girls joined in with a Virtual Sleepover with Sandbach District. Crewe North and South East Districts held a virtual camp for all sections in July to replace their planned District Camp. A number of units also held virtual sleepovers.

Activities in the community. Overwhelmingly, the majority of our units increased their activities in the community, helping with the supporting of NHS and key workers, either by making comfort bags for the hospitals or making face masks and scrubs.

Rainbows and Brownies made pictures for elderly people in their local area who put them in their windows and even helped decorate the Walls of Hope at Waters Green Medical Centre in Macclesfield. A lot of units were also involved in VE day celebrations.

1st Audlem Guides were involved in a project for Nantwich Foodbank's 'Reverse Advent Calendar' Christmas Collection. Nantwich Foodbank likes to send out extra special food parcels with a few extra seasonal items and gifts for children. The Guides helped to get the local community involved.

Many of our units' events have had to be cancelled but even though they couldn't enjoy their own camp, 2nd Macclesfield Girlguiding units made sure others benefited by donating the loo roll and food they would have been used to Cre8 Grocery - Project Grow (a surplus food re-distribution service operating across Macclesfield).

Duke of Edinburgh award: September 2020 Expedition weekend was very successful. Participants had to travel daily to/from the camping field. They walked, put up/down tents and cooked meals, all whilst observing COVID-19 secure guidelines.

Expedition Training went online with very successful monthly Zoom meetings from October 2020 for 17 new participants.

62 girls are currently working on awards. 9 Bronze, 5 Silver, 6 Gold and 1 Gold Certificate of Achievement have been presented.

Our Ranger / Young Leader activity Training weekend was postponed from November 2020 to November 2021

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Brownies go to Blackpool event postponed until further notice.

Events designed for the direct training and support of adult leaders included:

Leadership qualification

Mentor evenings - 4 evenings for Leadership Qualification mentors were held Jan-May. This was an opportunity to update skills and knowledge, explore new resources available, dispel common myths about the Leadership Qualification and Young Leader Qualification, Air and Share. One meeting was held in person, the rest were held virtually. 31 leaders have completed all or some LQ modules and 20 leaders have been registered to work on all or some of the LQ modules

Training

First Response Only 2 of the original 6 county trainings were able to go ahead. Only 1 of 5 COVID secure trainings could then go ahead before national restrictions tightened again. First Response training then went on-line. Total of 30 people trained, with 16 part-trained (still require the practical element); 26 volunteers under the planned 2020 target.

Safe Space Our County Safe Space trainers had a challenging time helping to ensure all our members had completed the relevant Safe Space training for their role by Dec 2020.15 level 3, 2 level 2 and 2 level 1 Safe Space certificates were awarded before lockdown - training then became virtual.

Commissioner Air and Share sessions were held in May and September. Volunteers found it very useful to discuss how to deliver virtual guiding

Section air and Share sessions were held virtually, led by our section advisers, to provide specific support to Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Ranger leaders. The sessions were very well received by the leaders and a second round are planned for January 2021.

Just for you sessions The county adult support team invited volunteers to Zoom sessions as a bit of a boost for people during the second lockdown period. The four sessions involved a Quiz night, Sing-a-long, Mindfulness Fun and Christmas Bakes.

Our 2 County Archivists helped at the County Rainbow Day, maintained our Archive Storage Facility and have used the opportunity of Lockdown to start a Digital and Visual Inventory. They continue to write about the heritage of Girl Guiding in Cheshire Border for our website.

Our 9 County Trefoil Guilds continue to offer Guiding for Adults and also practical help to Girlguiding across the county.

Other significant events

International - none permitted during 2020 due to pandemic;

Our county trip to Nepal has been postponed until 2021 (or 2022 depending on travel Guidance)

North West Region & all other Counties in the UK withdrew from the European Jamboree, consequently, our county group of 18 members have been unable to attend.

The Region Malta ICE trip was cancelled due to STA Travel going into administration which was disappointing for our 6 county attendees.

We continued to support the Comfort Bag Scheme, the initiative that was started in Greater Manchester West in 2016 to provide patients who find themselves unexpectedly in hospital with a homemade bag of items containing travel sized toiletries as well as pens and paper and useful items.1000 bags have now been created by local groups and given to Macclesfield & Leighton Hospitals.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Unfortunately, our Annual Celebration Evening had to be postponed but 75 people have been identified as recipients and badges for Long service, County Thanks and Good service will be awarded as soon as we can. One of our volunteers, Judy Wilson, was nationally recognised and awarded the BEM in the Queen's Birthday honours for her service to Girlguiding & the community.

Summary

Our ability to deliver the Girlguiding programme has been made more challenging due to the pandemic. National restrictions have meant guiding has taken place indoors, outdoors and virtually. For long periods of time, only virtual guiding was possible.

The provision of the guiding programme evolved throughout 2020 and, although it was felt by some to be harder to deliver the programme virtually to Rainbows, most areas had most units delivering something - with several choosing a blended approach (mixture of virtual, indoor and outdoor).

None of our units closed due to financial reasons, units closed due to volunteer resignations which were for a number of reasons - unable to continue volunteering, health concerns due to COVID-19, planned retirement.

From Dec 2019 - Nov 2020 we saw a drop of 259 members which is 6.7%. We now have 885 volunteers and 2729 girls (201 units)

Plans for 2021

Prioritise adult recruitment

Begin reviewing and developing our new five-year strategy in line with Girlguiding nationally - delayed from 2020 due to the enormous changes that occurred because of the pandemic

To work hard to promote the Association's aims and objectives and to recruit new members

To continue to run a range of specialised trainings to develop our adult leaders in a wide range of areas

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31st December 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Going Concern

The trustees have considered the potential impact of COVID-19 on the principal activities of the charity and they believe that they have sufficient resources in place to operate for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery - 20% on cost and 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost and 10% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
