TREASURER’S REPORT FOR YEAR 2022

A. THE TAYLOR HALL. Registered Charity No. 305038

1. The Hall is administered under the auspices of the Charity Commissioners’ Scheme 1335/53. The Trustees are all closely associated with Scouting in the Bourne. The Hall is used solely for the purposes of the 5th Farnham (Bourne) Scout Group.

2. Apart from the Hall, of which the ownership is vested in the Charity Commission, the only asset of the Charity is a minor bank balance of £357 whose purpose is to help with the maintenance of the Hall. At the moment, this money is held by the Scout Group.

B. THE SCOUT GROUP Registered Charity No. 1020614.

3. The Accounts for the 7 funds maintained by the Sections are attached.

1. Overall, the Sections show an operating surplus of £407.07 and a few of the sections had transfers of subscriptions owed to the Group for 2022. This shows as decreased income in the Group Accounts. The overall Section bank account balance has increased from £21,833 to £22,126 . As usual, our thanks must go to the Section Treasurers for their work in supporting their Leaders and in providing the vital flow of subscription income to central Group funds.

2. The Group accounts show a surplus of £10,887 taking the end of year balance from £68,975 to £79,862. We benefitted from a hospitality grant of £2,667 from Waverley Borough Council. We claimed £5456 in Gift Aid for 2021. With the section transfers of £15,632, we will be well placed to deal with damp that has been found in the Taylor Hall. We have also had some generous donations from parents towards the repairs.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

1. The ownership of the Taylor Hall, used by the Group as its Headquarters, has been vested in the Charity Commission for over 100 years, though the Group is responsible for all outgoings including insurance and maintenance.

Together they are presently insured for £485,374 and their contents for £3,200
