During the course of this facilitation, £1,500 was not transferred.

At 31st March 2025, a total of £11,500 was due to Woodseats Explorers from District Main. The following rectifications have been made in the 25/26 financial year: 1. £10,000 transferred from Sheaf SSRC to Woodseats SSRC in December 2025 2. £1,500 transferred from District Main account to Woodseats Explorer account in January 2026 **Property** Explorers facility 36-42 Helmton Road Sheffield 8 Valued at £250,000 by Simon McDonald on 28th October 2022.

The Scout Method Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: - enjoy what they are doing and have fun - take part in activities indoors and outdoors - learn by doing -share in spiritual reflection - take responsibility and make choices - undertake new and challenging activities - make and live by their Promise. Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects. Following the appointment of a new Lead Volunteer the district continues to provide through its constituent Scout Groups, an active worthwhile weekly programme of activities for young people aged 6- 25 years, led by adult volunteer leaders. First response (First Aid) and Safeguarding courses have been offered at regular intervals for all adult leaders by South Yorkshire Scout County. The District manages a restricted fund arising from a legacy (The Brian Sellars Fund) which gives financial assistance to young people in the area of its operation towards the expense of worthwhile and character-building activities. The fund, in the first instance is used for Scouts and Guides but may be used for any youth in the area. A sub-committee of the District Exec is appointed to manage The Fund on a day-today basis. Rathbones are retained as Investment advisors for the fund. Section C Public Benefit Statement The District meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. Section D Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year. A District Camp for all sections and Groups was held at Hesley Wood, attended by ten District Groups, Explorers and Active support. The District also organised District Carol Service. There were also activities put together, providing A Beaver Sleepover at Gullivers and the annual Survival Camp. All Cub and Scout Packs hold their normal weekly pack meetings. . Section E Financial Review Reserves Policy The District's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient liquid resources to continue the charitable activities of the District should income and fundraising activities fall short. The District Trustee Board considers that the District as a whole should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa £10,000 in current Trustees' Annual Report for the period: 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025 account, accessible on-line. The District and its various sections' Income and Expenditure is generally small and as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest. The District has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the investment of these funds which are held using The Sheffield Scout Resources Charity Investment Service. The Trustees are happy with the year end funds in line with reserves. Operating within with the District, The Brian Sellars Fund have investment funds managed by in Rathbones Investment Management Section F Declaration The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustee’s report above.
