1ST HARWELL (ST. MATTHEW'S) SCOUT GROUP

Provision of local scouting activities in line with those of the national Scout Association. Providing sport, leisure and recreation for children and young people centred on Harwell, Oxfordshire.
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, despite a decline more recently
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • 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:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
