Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The charity, 10th Matlock(1st Wirksworth) Scout Group has maintained and exceeded the stated aims of the charity which is to engage children and young people to be good citizens.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The main activities of the charity are centred around a variety of Scouting activities that are both indoor and outdoor. It must be noted that during 2021, the activities of the group were restricted due to Covid 19, however, many activites were able to be delivered within our safe operating procedures, following risk assessments. The activities range from practical craft and creative ones, through to adventurous ones such as camping, hiking, climbing and taking part in other community events such as Remembrance day. The importance of other activities that relate to children and young people being global citizens, who are resourceful, respectful and resilient are also included in activities delivered by our team of volunteer leaders. There are a range of awards and badges that are part of a development of skills and knowledge that the children and young people are introduced to over a number of years. At any one time, there are around 60 children and young people actively engaged in Scouting activities between the ages of 6 and 14 years, with a number of these also going on to continue as older teenagers with our scouting partner organisations. The group welcomes boys, girls and anyone, however they identify. The Scout Hut is made available for

		wider community benefit. Of note is the local community Wirksworth Festival, where the Scout Hut is a venue for artists to display and promote their works; the young people help and serve refreshments and hundreds of people over a weekend can use the facilities. The trustees have had a number of changes including new members x2, with x2 people retiring from positions, including the Treasurer, however, this position is looking to be replaced with one of the new Trustees. With a number of positions remaining available on the trustee board, the group are looking at how to recruit more volunteers into positions and as trustees. With a small yet vibrant community, the pool of local people is relatively limited. Parents are engaged and act as helpers for some of the scouting activities. People are also adjusting to social and community activities being fully available following on from the restrictions of the last 2 years. The Charity is in a strong position going forwards however, with growing numbers of young people wanting to join and volunteers as leaders continuing to come forward. The finances are also in a healthy position, aided by government grants due to the impact of Covid19 pandemic. The impact on Covid19 cannot be underestimated in its impact on children and young people socially and so we are pleased to report that many of our activities are now back to a normal level.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The 10th Matlock (1st Wirksworth) Scout Group provides public benefit, by ensuring that its activities are those that encourage children and young people to want to engage with and take part. By providing a range of different activities, the participants are able to develop into well rounded citizens as well as increasing their skills, knowledge and resilience for a modern world.

When reviewing our activities, along with our aims and objectives, the trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidelines of the Charities Commission general guidance on public

benefit and that this shall be further taken note of for any future plans going forward.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in

accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the
