NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY SCOUT COUNCIL

SCOUTING EXISTS TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE AND SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, EMPOWERING THEM TO MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

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 a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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