Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

Girlguiding Fife was established in 1910. The Guide Association is incorporated under Royal Charter and Girlguiding Fife conducts its activities under a related constitution for Scotland.

Objectives and activities

Objectives of the Charity

The objectives of Girlguiding Fife are to encourage, promote, develop and above all advance all aspects of Girlguiding in Fife.

Girlguiding Fife forms part of Girlguiding Scotland, to whom a proportion of Fife members' annual subscription is paid.

Organisation and Trustee Powers

The ultimate management of the business of Girlguiding Fife is vested in the Executive Committee, which has appointed various sub-committees to manage its activities on a day to day basis.

The Executive Committee who served during the year and up to the date of this report are those noted on page 2.

Achievements and performance

In June 2025 there were 142 units with 1,624 active girls and 445 active volunteers. The ongoing difficulty continues to be recruiting new volunteers to address the waiting list of girls wishing to join. Fife is divided into six Divisions and the Division Commissioners and the rest of the executive team meet a minimum of four times a year to ensure that County business is dealt with efficiently. Information is regularly emailed to Division Commissioners as well as all members of Girlguiding Fife. The current website is www.girlguidingfife.co.uk. A Facebook page is also in place www.facebook.com/girlguidingfife. The Facebook page has lots of followers and new entries every week.

Most trainings are to face-to-face or via E-learning. County Chats have continued this year as a way of discussing relevant topics and sharing knowledge.

Financial review

Review of financial position

The financial statements reflect the activities of the County of Fife, but exclude the financial activities of Divisions, Districts and Units, which are responsible for their own finances.

The statement of financial position of the charity as detailed on page 9 shows the net assets of the charity at £751,912 (2024: £742,801) at 30 June 2025. The surplus for the year is detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8.

Reserves Policy

While the current level of reserves is considered to be sufficient by the Trustees, the balance is under constant review to ensure that the charity has sufficient funds at any one time to meet its obligations.

In previous financial years, the Trustees set up four designated funds out of general reserves, to set aside funds for projects on improvements to property and for celebration events for the coming years. Details of the movements of these funds are provided in note 17 on page 16.

Plans for future periods

The major risks continue to be the retaining and replacement of volunteers and the retention of girls in the Guide and Ranger age groups. The rising costs of hall rents is also having an impact on some units. The Trustees are resolved to solve this by offering financial support to these units to allow Guiding to continue.

Upskilling volunteers and commissioners continues to be a priority with training events, webinars and County Chats being offered throughout the year.

Large scale events for the girls offering both indoor and outdoor activities are being planned for 2026/2027 offering both indoor and outdoor activities for all age groups.

Girlguiding Fife will continue to offer a wide range of skills, fun and adventure to all age groups via weekly meetings.

Sustaining membership is a major part of our focus as well as encouraging leaders to merge units to provide a better experience for the girls, share leaders and reduce the costs of hall hire. Transition between Brownies and Guides is also being looked at.

The annual Thanks and Recognition event will be combined with the Annual Review moving forward and will be held in October.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 June 2025

1. General Information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in Scotland and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 4 Gillespie Grove, Kirkcaldy, Fife, KY2 6ZU.

2. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charity Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).

3. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure Exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102:

(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the charity. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular future project or committment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Income

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible Assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

Impairment of Fixed Assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
