Wigan And Distrirt Scout Council AGM 2024 Chairman's Annual Report 202312024 Thanks to our wonderful volunteers and supporters, we have enjoyed another exciting and artivity filled year. Read on for reports from our individual section5. From a governance perspective, we have continued to implement the changes introduced by Headquarters ovef the past twelve or eighteen months. We have moved from -Executive Committee5 to-Trustee Boards.- We have -Team Leoders- and "Lead VoltJnteers- rather than Commissioners. all intended to simplify roles and emphasise the volunteering aspert of Scouts"ng. These changes also align us closer to the Charity Comrnissioner model. Basic scouting remains the same however. and we will continue to provide fun, friendship. new skills and adventure for the young people In our care. Our finances are in gocMI order wrth income from hiring out our building and from the shop profits more than adequately covering our expenditure. The building is well used in the evenings and at weekends and the Trustees are committed to regular maintenance and upkeep. Insurances and essential maintenance contrarts are all kept up to date in order to provide a safe and comfortable environment. We have maintained sound relationships wtth Wigan Council and are grateful for financial asslstance from our Central Ward Councillors. A v)umber of individual groups have also received funding from their local Councillors through the Brighter Borough Fund. This year's St George's Day Parade was again welL attended and supported by the Council Events Team who funded the essential road cLosures. However. there is some uncertair)ty over funding for next year's parade. We must also thank Greater Manchester Police for their invaluable assistance in ensuring the safety of all on parade and also our special guests. Greatei Manchester Deputy Lieutenant Melanie Bryan OBE, Wigan Mayor Councillor Anderson WFth the Mayoress. and Councillors Davies and Hunt Sadly, we must report the loss of several Scouting staLwarts over the past year. Fred Green, Peter O'NeilL Steven Burgoyne and Mel Finch. Mel held a number of appointments including District Commissioner from 1990 to 1995 and President from 2015 to 2022 when he retired due to ilL health. They all gave invaluable service to Wigan Scouting over many years. and we remember their passing with gratitude. On behalf of the Trustees. I would like to say, -Thank you once again.- to all our volunteer leaders and supporters. Gerard Davies District Chairman
