EAST LONDON DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

East London Scouts gives young people skills for life. We actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. We are open to all young people aged 4 - 24 in the London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
