13TH HOWDON SCOUTS 

Run a Scout Group for young people 6 - 25 years with the aim of developing their physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual character. We also administer an activity centre in rural Northumberland, which is let to Scout groups and other youth organisations, giving children from Tyneside conurbation and further afield the opportunity to sample life in the country
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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