SURREY WEST COUNTY OF THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION

Girlguiding Surrey West covers the Boroughs of Elmbridge, Guildford, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Woking and Waverley. We aim to sustain and promote a stimulating and enjoyable programme of activities based on Guiding principles for girls and young women aged 5 - 25 years, delivered by trained volunteer leaders.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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