1ST FRESSINGFIELD SCOUT GROUP

We can be found at the Scout Headquarters, Goodwin Hall, Fressingfield, We draw members in from villages around a ten mile radius and beyond. We are a very active group and now have over 100 members ranging from Beavers aged 6 to Explorers aged 18. We use local facilities to enhance the range of activities for members, including weekend and Group camps, with links to two local primary schools.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception

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
Why are there only 2 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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