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





|||**wider community benefit. Of note is the**<br>**local community Wirksworth Festival,**<br>**where the Scout Hut is a venue for**<br>**artists to display and promote their**<br>**works; the young people help and serve**<br>**refreshments and hundreds of people**<br>**over a weekend can use the facilities.**<br>**The trustees have had a number of**<br>**changes including new members x2,**<br>**with x2 people retiring from positions,**<br>**including the Treasurer, however, this**<br>**position is looking to be replaced with**<br>**one of the new Trustees. With a number**<br>**of positions remaining available on the**<br>**trustee board, the group are looking at**<br>**how to recruit more volunteers into**<br>**positions and as trustees. With a small**<br>**yet vibrant community, the pool of local**<br>**people is relatively limited. Parents are**<br>**engaged and act as helpers for some of**<br>**the scouting activities. People are also**<br>**adjusting to social and community**<br>**activities being fully available following**<br>**on from the restrictions of the last 2**<br>**years.**<br>**The Charity is in a strong position going**<br>**forwards however, with growing**<br>**numbers of young people wanting to**<br>**join and volunteers as leaders**<br>**continuing to come forward. The**<br>**finances are also in a healthy position,**<br>**aided by government grants due to the**<br>**impact of Covid19 pandemic. The**<br>**impact on Covid19 cannot be**<br>**underestimated in its impact on children**<br>**and young people socially and so we**<br>**are pleased to report that many of our**<br>**activities are now back to a normal level.**|

Dear Andy and Jannine, 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of 10[th] Matlock, 1[st] Wirksworth Scout Group** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the 10[th] Matlock, 1[st] Wirksworth (the Trust) for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. 

## **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 

2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

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: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the 

Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
