Chairman’s Report 2023
Giving this report I am in a much more upbeat mood this year with the Group going from strength to strength. There has been policy changes which I confess I was unsure of but have led too much better recruiting. I hope this year we will see the introduction of succession planning with proper job descriptions so people know what they are taking on and their ability to be useful in that post. We can never have enough people so if you value what your child has at 2nd Beeston don’t be passive come and see how you can help, it is not all about section meetings we need help in so many other areas.
,
Congratulations to all sections on growing their units and providing excellent programs, my thanks also goes to the Executive committee, as you will see from the reports we have many arears that need constant work ongoing throughout the year to maintain our high standards. For those of you in the younger sections who may not have seen Barton Island our river base a lot of work has been completed this year. The Tuesday crew who look after Lilac Grove to keep a dilapidating building in reasonable condition so all our young people can continue to enjoy their Scouting. The newly formed SASU is still finding its feet with this year an incredible amount of money raised for boats by both the fundraising and the SASU to enable us to put excellent water activities for every young person in the Group.
As you will see from the accounts the building fund for the new Lilac Grove HQ has increased dramatically and we now have £154994.60 (as at 31/12/2022). Covid-19 took its toll on the speed we could progress to get the new build of the ground but I believe we are now getting back on track.
I have purposely not gone into much detail here because I would like you all to read all the reports that you will find on line which will tell the story behind incredible success given everything that life has thrown at us over the last few years.
I would leave you with this thought and I would love you to feel this way as well.
‘ As well as giving the young people in the future amazing opportunities, I feel I’ve also personally benefited from volunteering. It’s really rewarding for me and I feel I’ve achieved something great .’

Independent examiner's report on the accounts
Report to the trustees of 2[nd] Beeston Sea Scouts on accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
Charity number 522425
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
· the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
· the accounts did not accord with the accounting 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.
