HEAVY WOOLLEN DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

To provide support for adults in Scouting for the execution of their aims to provide for the mental, physical and spiritual welfare of young people between the ages of 6 -25
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
