The Coronavirus pandemic fundamentally changed how many organisations think and operate, and it highlighted businesses, charities and other organisations that operated on the smallest of margins with little in the way of meaningful financial reserves for when problems occurred.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAt the same time, Scouting has for many years worked hard to open new Groups in harder to reach communities, where the membership fee and activity or camping fees that many established Groups charge are just out of reach of too many families. If we truly believe that all young people deserve a chance to take part in Scouting, we need to think fundamentally about how we make that happen, and that might mean we need to think about a new operating model.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDistricts should be engaging with their Groups and sections to truly understand their needs. What is their financial operating model? What can they afford to charge as a membership fee? Does this stop them accessing other activities? How can the District, or other Groups help them to ensure young people are not put at a disadvantage because of money? Our default position should be \u201CHow do we ensure as many young people as possible get the best possible programme experience and what support can we offer to make this happen?\u201D This includes financial support.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOne possible outcome of this discussion is that as a District you agree to provide grant funding to some or all of your Groups, but you don\u2019t have capacity to do this through the District Executive. In this case you might agree with the County Executive that you will contribute to a County administered fund along with other Districts which Groups (from across the County) could apply to.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this case, the proceeds of the activity should go wholly to the work of the Group, District or County or, in the case of joint activities with other organisations, part of the proceeds allotted to the Group, District or County is wholly, according to POR.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOne crucially important matter to contend with straight away is the matter of equality vs. equity. In Scouting we always want to be fair, and be seen to be fair. But being able to provide grants to Groups is not really a matter of equality, i.e. giving the same level of support to every Group. Grants are predominantly about providing extra support to those that need it, so they get the same opportunity as everyone else, i.e. equity.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you\u0027re in a position to support local scouting financially, the next stage is to be clear on what you can actually do.\u003C/p\u003E","gtmId":"","gtmClass":""}]}],"config":null}]},"sections":[{"content":{"layouts":[{"type":"singleColumn","areas":[{"items":[{"gridType":"RichTextBlock","content":"\u003Cp\u003ECharities can make grants to other charities as a way of furthering their charitable purposes (also known as their objects).

If you don\u2019t know this already you will need to go into the old minutes of the Executive to check. Some donors or grant funders give money for use solely for a restricted purpose. Similarly, public fundraising appeals can sometimes raise funds for a specific restricted purpose. Restricted funds can only be used for the purposes of which they were collected. Money that was collected specifically to support a Jamboree unit for example, cannot be used to help a Group struggling with their membership fee.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EUnrestricted funds are different. A great example of unrestricted funds might be the District proportion of the annual membership fee which might have built up over time. Funds you have received from an individual donor may also be unrestricted, it all depends on if that money was given for a specific purpose or just to help Scouting locally. Again, you will need to check minutes and other records (such as correspondence with the donor or posters/leaflets relating to a fundraising appeal) for clarity. Your annual accounts should show which funds are restricted and unrestricted.

You must remember that first and foremost you are a trustee of the District or County, and are under a legal duty to act in the District\u2019s or County\u2019s best interest. This guidance can\u2019t take into account every possible scenario, but you need to consider your regular income, expenditure, and funds at hand, and work out what you can afford to give while not jeopardising the financial health of the District.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you have a healthy balance of funds in the bank, a comfortable income and regular expenditure which is met by your income each year, you can probably afford to give a little more, but if you have a reasonable balance of funds, your only income is through the membership fee and you know you have significant expenditure coming up you might be a little more cautious. The District or County Executive as charity Trustees must consider this carefully.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you do have large reserves, it is worth considering why that is. Are you charging the right membership fee if that money is just building up and sitting in a bank account? What would a reasonable reduction look like? Now is a great opportunity to have a fundamental rethink about what the right level of reserve should be, then work out what to do with the rest. The Charity Commission provides a \u003Ca href=\u0022https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charities-and-reserves-cc19/charities-and-reserves\u0022\u003Ehelpful guide on reserves.\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOne thing to consider is whether this might be a short period of one-off grants, or whether the District or County could afford to set up a more long-term grants programme. Again, the Trustees will need to consider what they can afford and what\u2019s most appropriate. Also consider whether to have a separate small and large grants model. It will be up to the Trustees to decide what small and large actually means, but you must give Groups clarity on what size of grants are likely to be available and for how long so that they can apply in the right way.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis all comes back down to understanding what is going on locally.
