Looking to the future the group is confident it will be in a position to settle the loan sooner than originally agreed. The groups key fundraising events (Carnival, Rollestonbury and Fireworks night) continued to prove successful as have site rentals to the Caravan Club and and lettings of the main hall as a community group meeting place when not in use for Scouting. Event volunteers from parents and villagers has increased which enables good confidence we will sustain these fundraising events at the The HQ extension and large canopy continues to have a positive impact on Scouting activities and reflects the sound and reasoned judgement of the Trustees. The HQ building regularly hosts more than 1 Beaver, Cub, Scout or Explorer Scouts meeting at the same time and waitlists continue to be manageable. Leader recruitment and retention continues to well managed securing a high quality and safe Scouting experience. The Trustees continue to maintain a minimum bank balance to be held of £50,000 to cover a full years worth of running costs even if no fundraising events were possible. Meanwhile a diversified mix of fundraising continues and minimises financial risk. The Trustees will continue to carry out maintenance to the HQ building including electrical rewiring, increasing wifi coverage and improving pedestrian safety in the car park during the next financial year. This investment will maximise sustainability of investment in the Scouting experience by facilitating fundraising events and retain rental income by providing an attractive meeting space.
