GATESHEAD DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

An umbrella organisation which governs, manages, supports and develops Scouting in the Borough of Gateshead, east of the River Derwent. Gateshead Scouts operates an activity centre and boathouse in support of our members and the wider community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
