HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY SCOUT COUNCIL

Promotion and development of 'Scouting' within the County of Hertfordshire
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,841,909 available, equivalent to 25 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
