12TH WYRE FOREST (BLAKEDOWN) SCOUT GROUP

SCOUTING ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
