20TH CHRISTCHURCH (SOMERFORD) SCOUT GROUP

The 20th Christchurch (Somerford) Scout Group provides Scouting to young people aged between 6 and 14 years of age. The Group is based off of Edward Road, Somerford. Activities are based on the section the young person belongs to and within Somerford we currently have Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
