1ST ST OSYTH SCOUT GROUP

Scout Group: Children aged from six to twenty five and adult volunteers. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts learning life skills and having fun!!
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is there only 1 trustee?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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