ESHER DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL 

Promotes the development of young people in Esher in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international community by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive activities and training based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by trained adult leadership
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
