1ST GODSTONE SCOUT GROUP

1st Godstone Scout Group offers scouting activities for boys and girls from age 6 upwards in the village of Godstone, Surrey

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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

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 recently but spending has been maintained
