1ST SUTTON AT HONE BOY SCOUT GROUP

Scouting activities for boys and girls including camps and leisure visits. The Group is inclusive and has very active Scout, Cub and Beaver units and committed leaders. It also has a strong and supportive executive committee. The Group has its own scout hall, activity area and a wide range of equipment for camping and other events. It has its own mini bus with safety seat belts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very 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 well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 14 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
