SEFTON NORTH DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL 

TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND EDUCATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE VIA THE WORLDWIDE SCOUTING MOVEMENT
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 recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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