9TH KENTON SCOUT GROUP

The 9th Kenton Scout Group is a not for profit charitable organisation which works with young people, aged 6-14, locally. We are all volunteers seeking to encourage & support them in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social & spiritual potential as individuals, responsible citizens & members of their local community through a varied programme of indoor & outdoor Scouting activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
