## **Group Finance Report for year ending 31[st] March 2022** 

The accounts I am reporting on are for the last financial year up to the end of March 2022. 

The group accounts for last year are set out below. Our income was £33,870.53 and expenditure was £24,539.63 which puts the accounts in a healthy position. 

The second half of the year saw a return to more normal scout activities but Covid continued to have a positive effect on our income. For example we received a £10,000 restart grant after the covid shutdown and expenditure on heating and lighting were reduced while business rates were not payable at all last year. 

We also claimed 3 years worth of Gift Aid totalling £5,349.10 and received a donation of £1,229 which has enabled us to improve disabled access to the building.

|Opening Balance 31/3/2021|£ 32,916.83|||
|Closing Balance 31/3/2022|<br>£42,247.73|||



The largest item of expenditure was Activities which included all activities away from the hut and troop night costs. £3,313.15 has been spent on maintenance of the scout hut and utilities totalled £1,646.4, lower than normal. The other major items of expenditure were Insurance at £1,198.88 and Capitation to the Scout Association £3,108. 



The accounts are very healthy which should enable us to continue subsidising camps and activities as we have in the past.  However, it is anticipated that our utility costs will as least double next year and maintenance costs will rise. The healthy balance should enable us to continue to provide the same range of activities and fun without the need to increase subs in the next 12 months.
