They have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Stotement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their occounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective l January 2019). The Guide Association Birmingham is a registered charity, number 524565, and is constituted under a Trust deed. Birmingham Guide Association (known as Girlguiding Birmingham) is part of Girlguiding, the leading charity for girls ond young women in the UK. It administers guiding in the City of Birmingham. It is governed by a County Executive Committee of16 trustees, all of whom are volunteers, with one Trustee from eoch of the Twelve Divisions, the County Commissioner, Assistant County Commission8r, County Treasurer and the Property Manager, a full list of Trustees is given in this raport. The County Commissioner is appointed by the Midlands Region Chief Commissioner for a term of 5 years. The current County Commissioner was appointed on l October 2022. All other members of the Executive Committee are oppointed by the county commissioner. Organisational structure as per the constitution of the chority, the Executive Committee manoges the ossociation affairs with the Executive making key operational decisions. Once decisions are made the county commissioner is responsible for disseminating information to staff ond volunteers ensuring that decisions mode by the Executive are implemented. Girlguiding Birmingham's mission is to empower girls to find and use their voice- inspiring tham to discover the best in themselves and to make a positive difference in their community. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit.. running a charity (PB2)'. Our aim is to provide an environment where girls grow in confidence by developing friendships ond skills, finding their voice and challenging themselves in a supportive community. To achieve this, Girlguiding Birmingham wants to make an impact on the girls it supports and for the volunteers, our communities and for society as a whole. Girlguiding Birmingham incorporates the national Girlguiding strategy,"Girls Can Do Anything", aims to empower girls and expand their reach, with goals to double their impact by 2035. The key objectives of the strategy include: Empowerment and Confidence: focusing on building girls, confidence and well-being. Inclusivity and Accessibility.. reaching girls from diverse backgrounds and communities, ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to participote in guiding activities.

The Guide Association Birmin hom Re ort of the Truste for the Year Ended 31 De mber 2024 continued Volunteer Engagement: Recognising the vital role of volunteers, developing initiatives to recruit, retain and support volunteers, making their experience rewarding and flexible. Long-term Goals.. By 2030, Girlguiding aims to reach more girls where they are, with a long-term goal of having one in ten girls in the UK involved in guiding by 2035. All girls are welcome. Our leaders run Rainbows (4-7 years), Brownies (7-10 years), Guides (10-14 years) and Rangers (14-18 years) and Inspire (18-30). Special events were held at unit, District, Division and County level, we encouraged members to take port in large scale regionol and national events including selection for international trips run by Girlguiding and the Scouts. Some of our adult volunteers have volunteered to be on international services teams SUPF)Orting young people from across the world to take part in large camps. Within the County, locol units are now beginning to venture abroad with their units following the breok caused by the covid pandemic. We hove offered a number of large scale outdoor events for all sections with over 200 young members and leaders developing their skills to feel more confident in the outdoors including guides and rangers building outdoor shelters to sleep in overnight. Our walking odviser has created a number of social walks mainly for volunteers which have included a range of terrains. The Arts team has continued to offer o number of activity days for all sections. We have developed an Archives team who are cataloguing our history so current and future generations can find out what we wore, what we did and how the organisotion has chonged, grown and developed since1970. We have maintained our young member numbers but our volunteers have increased. Recruitment and retention continues to be o priority, to do this we need to continue promoting a positive image in the local medio to encourage more adult volunteers to join us to help cope with our increasing number of girls and enquiries. We have opened units in more deprived areas of the city but overoll our number of units has decreosed. This has been o combination of closing units and amalgamoting others. In addition trustees recognise that all members working with young people could attract risk and are therefore DBS checked in line with Girlguiding policy. Our adult volunteers undergo mandatory training including safeguarding, which has been overhauled making it more relevant to the volunteers in different roles. First response training which mainly covers first old is mandatory in that all units must have a qualified leader at all meetings ond events. We encourage all adult members to undertake other troinings (face to facelonline or via a webinar) to support the Girlguiding programme for each section, and

The Guide Association Birmin Re ort f the Tru ham r Ended 31 December 2024 ntin running the unit. As a result of previous consultations we have offered an increased range of training topics and leisure opportunities. These are both areas to grow in 2025. Trustees ond commissioners are supported to carry out their roles effectively and efficiently. Commissioners have a commissioner mentor to help them with issues that arlse. Participation in regional and national training opportunities are encouraged. We recognise our volunteers through a range of awards. We gave out a number of long service owards including two for fifty years and three for forty years. County Commissioner thank you badges for volunteers who had held additional roles that have come to an end and worked on special time limited projects. In addition to these, volunteers and staff are nominated by their peers for a County award which is given for extraordinary service. We expanded this award from a one single award to 3 stoges to allow for nominations for continued innovative and exceptional services. Our biggest challenge however hos continued to centr8 around our new heodquarters which we moved into in April 2023. We expect these to all be ratified by summer 2025. Our plans for 2025 include improving our social media presence, developing out international opportunities Growing our membership streamlining our financial processes Reviewing our properties to increase their use and to consider any upgrading that may be required. The Boord of Trustees thanks every volunteer for all they do, giving their time generously, sharing their skills, experience and enthusiasm and providing girls with amazing opportunities to develop and thrive. Creating exceptional experiences for girls, creating memories to last a lifetime. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities A grant for £10,000 received during the year, represents a moving contribution from Invesco Finance.

The trustees have appointed Evelyn Partners to manage the portfolio of investments of the organisation. Rosorvas Policy The trustees have reviewed the total reserves held by the organisation.

Since the year end a total of £70,000 has been transferred from the General Fund, with £20,000 allocated to the Hardship Fund, £30,000 to the Renewals Fund, and £20,000 to the Friends of Birmingham Guiding Fund, in future to be known as the Opportunities Fund. Following the transfers the total free reserves were £307,255 which the trustees consider to be sufficient to enable the churitable activities of the organisation to continue for at least a further twelve months. The trustees continue to monitor the level of reserves held, at regular intervals, throughout the year. STRUCTURE.
