Section B
Structure, governance and management Icontinuedl
Risk and Internal Control
The Group Trustee Board has identified the major risks to which
they believe the Group is exposed, these have been revlewed and
systems have been established to mitigate agalnst them. The maln
areas of concern that have been identified are:
Damage to the building. propety and equiprnent. The Group would
request the use of buildlngs. property and equlpment from
neighbouring organisations such as the church, community centre
and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with
theso organisations. The Group has sufficient buildings and
contents insurance in place to mltlgate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group
through the capitstion fees contributes to the Scout Associations
national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are
undertaken before activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily reliant
upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The group does
hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be
a major roduction in income. The Board could raise the value of
subscriptions to increase the income to the group on an ongoing
basis. either temporarily or pemanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. Th& group is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If there
was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level
in a particular section or the group as a whole then there would
have to be a contraction. consolidation or closure of a section. In
the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of m8mbors. The Group providos activities for all
young people aged 6 to 14. If there was a reduction in membership
in a particular section or the group as whole then there would have
to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the
worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are
deslgned to provide reasonable assurance against matèrial
mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all
payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that
insurable risks are covered.

Section E
Financial Review
Brief statement of the charity's policy on
reserves
Reserves Pollcy
The Group's policy on reserves Is to hold sufficient resources to
continue the charitable activitles of the group should income and
fundraising activities fall short. The Group Trustee Board considers
that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 18 months runnlng
costs, circa £15.000.
The Group held reserves of approximately £50,000 against this at
year end. Thls Is above the level ￿quired for operating expenses.
However this can be explained by accrued income from non-
delivery of Scouting due to Covid-19. Furthermore. this is identified
as possibly being required for 2030 after the current lease expires.
