    1ST UPTON ON SEVERN SCOUTS 

    EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker 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 4 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
