Recruitment, Appointment, Induction and Training of New Trustees
The trustees are the county commissioners within the region, together with the region chair of finance and property, the chief commissioner, her deputy and her assistant. Each county commissioner is appointed by the chief commissioner (chair of the trustees) after consultation with the relevant county members. Trustees serve for a term of office of five years but would be removed as trustees should they cease to hold office for any reason before their anticipated term has expired. Trustees are assigned a mentor and follow the Guide Association induction programme for county commissioners. Formal and informal training is available to meet individual needs.
Organisational Structure
The Guide Association North West England is one of the regions of the Guide Association and comprises of 17 counties, including the Isle of Man. The charity is subject to the policies agreed by the Guide Association. Details of officers who served during the year are show on page 3.
The Guide Association North West England is a volunteer led charity and although it's trustees control and manage the charity, the day to day management of its activities are delegated to a staff team of 10 employees, three of these staff members (county coordinators) undertake work which is funded by a number of counties but the staff are employed regionally. Trustees have identified that there are three staff who hold key management personnel roles (executive manager, growth & engagement manager and the finance officer).
Girlguiding North West England use the NJC (National Joint Council for Local Government Services) Salary Scale, any increases are in line with this scale which is used widely by the voluntary and community sector. Salaries were evaluated in 2016 and they were felt that they were in line with similar roles within the charity sector, however it is now felt that these will need be evaluated again.

THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Risk Management
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business, and operational risks, which the charity faces. These are detailed in a risk register; the trustees usually review these annually but with the current COVID-19 pandemic they have been reviewed more regularly by the finance committee. Policies, systems, and processes exist to mitigate risks as far as possible. Trustees have also increased the number of meetings they have over the past two years to ensure that we are up to date with any new updates regarding how we should be working during the pandemic.
Objectives and Activities
To pursue the objectives of the Guide Association concerned with the development of girls and young women.
Aims
Girlguiding North West England aims to enable girls and young women to develop their potential through supporting and valuing its leaders.
Main Objectives
To train and support adult leaders in delivering the aims, and to support adults and girls in activities within Girlguiding North West England at a local level through the provision of uniform grants, grants for international trips, opportunities for networking and by holding large-scale training and events.
Strategies for Achieving Objectives
During 2021 we've developed a new strategy 'Our Plan for 2022 & Beyond', to direct our work and achievements and we are just starting work now on how we will achieve the strategy.
The trustees have referred to the information contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, when reviewing strategies and plans. The trustees believe that the activities carried out benefit the public by aiding the personal development and wellbeing of girls, young women, and adults through the pursuit of the association's aims and objectives.

Significant Activities and Events
Our thoughts and love go out to our members, their relatives and friends who have all lost someone due to COVID-19.
The last two years, like for many other organisations and charities has been impacted by COVID-19, many of our events and activities that we had planned, have had to be postponed or cancelled or adapted to ensure that we can still deliver our objectives. We continued to use more virtual methods to hold events and communicate with members.
50 Birthday Celebrations
This year our region turned 50 years old! We had a fantastic time celebrating this milestone over the year. With lots of exciting activities which included; the region chief team attending 50 unit meetings and launching a Birthday Challenge pack that was put together by Express! (our youth forum), as well as holding a virtual Birthday Bash and sleepover. Thank you to all our members who helped us to celebrate 50 glorious years of Girlguiding North West England.
Region Mascot Competition
We held a 50th birthday mascot competition, the winning design was turned in to a badge. The judging panel felt that the winning design truly represented both our milestone birthday year and the Guiding light. We also held a make your own Lumi virtual event with the competition winner and our assistant region chief.
World Thinking Day
World Thinking Day which takes place on 22 February every year, this year we encouraged members to create virtual time capsules to celebrate the day as well as attend a virtual campfire singalong.
Social Action
During this year we have continued to support the comfort bag scheme, as we have done over the past five years. The scheme donates items and puts them together in small bags of toiletries and care items to go inside handmade or donated bags, which are then donated to hospitals. hospices or refuges so that they can be given to people who find themselves with no belongings. This year we are so pleased that we met the 20,000 target. We have also been working on two new social action projects that we will be launching in 2022.

Significant Activities and Events for Young Members
We delivered several activities and events for our young members, enabling them to develop their potential and to make a difference to the world. The events that we held for young members this year are as follows;
Facebook Fun
We held a number of Facebook Fun live events for our members from different sections.
Clever Cogs
Our partnership with BAE continues to grow, with the focus on encouraging members to take part in fun and exciting activities around engineering, this year we held a virtual event to launch the new Clever Cogs Making Waves challenge all about marine engineering.
Peer Education
This training offers a fantastic opportunity for Ranger members to become Peer Educators and help support all sections to develop their skills and knowledge. They explore important topics such as Think Resilient (tools for mental well-being), Free Being Me (body confidence and self-esteem), Breaking Free (challenging gender stereotypes) and Youth Health (empowering Guides and Rangers to make their own decisions about alcohol, smoking, drugs and sex) and healthy relationships. Unfortunately, we were unable to deliver any trainings in 2021.
International
As with 2020, it has been really challenging to deliver any international trips in or to even plan for 2022. We have lots of exciting trips taking place though in 2023 including sending some members to the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. We can't wait to see our members embark on some exciting trips for 2023.

Significant Activities and Events for Adult Members Held
Thanks & Recognition
As well as our usual region awards, this year we saw a new record number of volunteers being thanked by Girlguiding for all their hard work with the introduction of the new Hero Awards, where any member of Girlguiding being able to nominate someone else, the award really did take off in our region with a massive 148 awards given out.
We also held an event at region HQ to say thank you to some of those people who had received a Hero award.
A Safe Space Training
We have continued to roll out our safeguarding training (A Safe Space) for leaders. To ensure that all our members are trained to the appropriate level according to their roles. Once again, our trainers worked really hard during the year to ensure that our members had access to the training they require to continue to volunteer.
Blended Guiding
We continued to encourage leaders to continue with a blended approach or face to face and virtual Guiding. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 measures guidance changed quickly, but having a blended approach meant that leaders could use both ways for delivering guiding as needed.
Growth & Retention Support
We held several meetings and trainings to engage members and support counties with their membership growth and retention. We've also started to communicate with future members who are on our waiting lists, to keep them excited about joining Girlguiding.
Gift Aid Training
We were able to continue with our Gift Aid training to ensure that units maximise the income they have coming in to support activities for girls and other costs associated with running a unit.

THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial review
The charity has net outgoing resources this year of £32,654 (2020: £296 net incoming resources), as shown in the statement of financial activities on page 19.
Funding sources
Most funding comes from members’ subscriptions (£253,162 in 2021). Major expenditure is the staff salaries, programme of activity offered and adults’ training.
Reserves policy
At 31 December 2021 the charity held reserves totaling £1,361,160. Of this, £48,229 were restricted balances held as per the detailed information on page 34. A further £38,424 are balances designated for specific purposes and £644,649 relates to the net book value of fixed assets. The remaining £629,858 are unrestricted balances for use at the discretion of the charity.
• Tangible fixed assets
On the balance sheet, the net book value of the land and buildings has been shown separately from general unrestricted funds.
- Designated funds
Full details of the remaining designated funds can be seen on page 34.
• Free reserves
Free reserves represent the ‘working capital’ of the Association available to support short and medium- term objectives and to safeguard against unexpected decreases in income. The Charity Commission guidelines define free reserves as income which becomes available to the charity and is expended at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of any of the charity’s objectives, but is not yet spent, committed, or designated.
The trustees have examined the needs and challenges faced by The Guide Association North West England, in both the short and medium term, along with relevant financial forecasts, and have formulated a policy to meet those needs. It is felt that the optimum level of free reserves would be 12 months operating costs which at 2021 levels would equate to approximately £385,000. Free reserves are calculated as unrestricted funds less designated funds less tangible fixed assets. At 31 December 2021, free reserves were equivalent to 19 months’ operating costs which is slightly higher than the Committee’s target for free reserves. The trustees feel that that the additional free reserves held at 31 December 2021 will need to be used in 2022 to support the charity’s work in light of the pandemic.

THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Principal risks and uncertainties
We understand that due to COVID-19 there continue to be an impact for Girlguiding North West England in 2022 and potentially longer
The key risks are that our membership numbers and subscription income may not increase as much as we would like, following the drop in members we saw during Covid. In addition, we are also finding ourselves in a challenging recruitment market with a number of staff vacancies, which potentially we may struggle to fill.
Fundraising activities
Funds are not raised from the public aside from through charitable trading. No external fundraisers are used.
Plans for 2022
Our plans for 2022 are to deliver a number of exciting events and international opportunities for our members as well as increase our membership numbers.

THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Statement of the Responsibilities of the Trustees for the Accounts
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved for and on behalf of the Trustees on …. 11 June 2022 ... and signed on its behalf by:

THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Guide Association North West England (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
15
THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 15, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below:
-
Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that have had a direct effect on the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context include Charities Act. In addition, we consider compliance with employee legislation, as fundamental to the Charity’s operations;
-
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
16
THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidancefor-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The Guide Association North West England is a charity registered in England. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed within the Trustees’ Report on pages 4 to 15.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention and in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), The Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
The trustees are required to assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, ie whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation of the accounts. Girlguiding North West England has 19 months of free reserves with the plan to use some of this in 2022 as well as applying for grants to help support the work in during the year. The Trustees and Management have put plans in place to manage the situation and monitor reserves levels. At the date of approving these accounts the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will be able to manage the situation and that it has sufficient cash resources to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity and which have not been designated for other reserves. Where unrestricted funds have been earmarked for a particular project, they have been designated as a separate fund, but the designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the Trustees' discretion to apply the fund. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the accounts.
Page 21
THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION NORTH WEST ENGLAND NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
- 1 Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting (continued)
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the accounts.
Incoming resources
All incoming subscriptions and similar resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. It includes bank interest. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category inclusive of value added tax. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
- 1 Accounting policies (continued)
Fixed assets
Fixed assets (tangible and intangible) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation. Depreciation and amortisation have been provided at the following rates:-
• Website development - 33.33% straight line • Land and buildings - 2% straight line • Office and kitchen equipment - 25% on written down value • Computer equipment - 33.33% straight line
Provision is made for any impairment.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind which qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, calculated using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
Prepayments and accrued income
Prepayments and accrued income are recognised at the amount prepaid net of any discounts.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Creditors, accruals and deposits received in advance
Creditors and accruals are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. These are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
Deposits received in advance are recognised at the amount equal to amounts received from members in respect of trips and events which will be held in future accounting periods.
Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees through the main Guide Association scheme. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
There have been no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimates) made in the process of preparing the financial statements.
There have been no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

During 2009 the Trustees designated funds from the proceeds of the Big Gig to enable adults to gain qualifications in order to further activities for girls.
Subscription support fund

The Starting a New Unit Grant is a grant awarded by the Guide Association from central funds to assist with the costs of starting a new unit.
