The main areas of concern that have been identified are: Lack of volunteer and staff Recruitment: The County would amend activities/premises available based on safe staffing levels. Work with Districts to support Groups to contiune to operate with safe volunteer levels in line with POR or temporarily move young people to other Groups (where possible) _Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members._ The County through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. The County wil lalso ensure that it is compliant in implementing the Scout Association's safety procedures. _Reduced income._ The County is primarily reliant upon income from Hesley Wood Scout Activity Centre, subscriptions and fundraising. The County does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the County on an ongoing basis or scale back services provided, either temporarily or permanently. _Reduction, loss or change of senior volunteers._ The County is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the County. If there was a reduction or loss in the number of adults to an unacceptable level then there would have to be a reduction in activities and support given. Consideration could also be given to paying for services and/or working with other Scout Counties. A change in senior volunteers will be supported by increased County Trustee Board meetings and support from the Regional Commissioner and Regional Development Teams.

reserves
Quantify and explain any designations|| ||The Counties policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources

income and fundraising activities fall short. The County
Executive Committee considers that the County should hold a
sum equivalent to 12 months of minimum running costs, circa
£75k
The County held reserves of approximately £231k at year
end, split between unrestricted funds of £76k and designated
funds of £155k. Should income and fundraising activities fall
short, there are sufficient funds within unrestricted reserves to
cover the charitable activities of the County for a full 12
months. The trustees also reserve the right to transfer funds
