3RD STAINES SCOUT GROUP 

As a unit of the Scout Association we have provided a full and active programme of education and training for young people. We have maintained a good balance between our plans for improvements to our premises associated facilities, cash flow and fund raising with concentration on leadership and recruitment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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

Financial issues to consider:

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