Achievements and Performance

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	The Scout Group has taken an active part in the local Community during the period under review. We have made collections in the village on behalf of the Poppy Appeal and took part in the Remembrance Parade and service. The group organises an annual Plant Sale for the village to enable those unable to make a trip to the garden centre to have their spring flowers delivered direct to their door. The young people who are members of the group experience an engaging and varied programme adhering to the Scouting guidelines and policy such as adventure, challenge, skills and creative that gives them purpose and direction. There were various camps and water activities such as kayaking and bell boating held in the year. These kinds of experience of nights away from home, either camping or in bunkhouse, are beneficial to the development of the young persons.

| have camed out an independent examination of the accounting records of the 1st Kinnerton Scout Group in accordance with the general directions given by the Charities Commissioners. No matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that that the accounts have not been kept in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Hi Louise,

I have completed my review of the accounts.

To note:

• I reviewed and confirmed all closing bank balances.

• I reviewed all income and expenditure items in the consolidated accounts and reconciled them through to the working papers.

• I did a sample check of significant items to purchase invoices and could easily identify and confirm all of the sample.

• Petty cash difference £150. I think this is rolled forward from previous years. Immaterial but suggest write off in 2025.

I haven’t been able to get my printer to work unfortunately. Are you able to print and I’ll pop round to drop the file off and can sign then? Are there any other documents that you need me to complete?

Thanks, Joanne
