4TH BARNEHURST (ST MARTIN'S) SCOUT GROUP 

Young people between the core ages of 6 to 14 meet in their sections weekly where they enjoy learning through a variety of methods, including games, practical experiences and visits. In addition there is a full programme of outdoor experiences from cooking on open fires through sleepovers, weekend and full week camps either in accommodation or under canvas on official sites or green fields.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • 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
  • 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
