&) Chairman’s Annual Report 2024/2025
----- End of picture text -----
| am pleased to present this Annual Report for Wigan and District Council for the year ending 31* March 2025.
First of all, | must thank all those who have helped provide Scouting throughout the past year, including our many volunteers at Group level, whether they be section leaders, occasional helpers, trustees or parents of our young people. Thanks also to our District Team and Trustee Board for their dedication and commitment in organising events and looking after our assets and financial affairs. Without all of you we would not be able to deliver the many exciting activities that Scouting has to offer.
We must also acknowledge the support and encouragement we continue to receive from Wigan Council.
In the following pages, you can read reports from each of our sections detailing some of the fun-filled and adventurous activities enjoyed by our young people. We also include our financial statements for the period 1 April 2024 to 31%* March 2025.
Please take away a copy of this report to share with parents and friends. Let's tell everyone about the great game of Scouting.
Thank you all again for your dedication and commitment.

Mrs J Smith The Treasurer
Wigan District Scout Council 73 Valley Road Wigan WN5 9HG Our Ref: CMA/CA/WDS/013 20 May 2025
Wigan District Scout Council
Accounts — Year Ending 31 March 2025
Dear Joan,
Further to your request for CMA Accountancy Ltd to review the accounts for year ending 31 March 2025 I can confirm the following. It is your responsibility as a council to prepare the financial statements, and the accountant’s responsibility to carry out a review and form an opinion on these statements.
Basis of opinion
The review includes examination of the evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the financial activities of the Council. Information and explanations have been provided which give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material error.
Accountants opinion
Subject to the caveat above, I confirm that no matter has come to my attention which would show that in any no material respect the requirements to keep accounting records have not been met. I therefore conclude that the financial statements have been properly prepared and give a true and fair view of the financial affairs of the Wigan District Scout Council as at 31 March 2025, and of the income and expenditure for the year ended on that date. Please find enclosed our invoice for completing such review.
Yours sincerely
