1ST GOBOWEN SCOUT GROUP 

The Gobowen scout group is a member of the national scout association and carries out a programme of scout activities for the benefit of local children and the community
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
