## **West Hatch Scout Group** ## **AGM 12[th] July 2021** ## **Group Treasurer's Report** This year has been very different to usual with COVID 19 continuing to affect the world including the scout movement. For us at West Hatch Scout Group this financial year (2020.21) we were not permitted to have any face to face camps or events but continued with programmes and activities delivered online. We also made use of the many features within Online Scout Manager (OSM) including ‘Badges at Home’. The National Scout Capitation fees increased this year but due to the pandemic the annual Huish Woods camp site fee was rolled over from last year as groups were not permitted to use the facility throughout the last financial year. We have been supported by Somerset West and Taunton County Council who granted us the discretionary business rates relief for 2020.21 as we are a charity and support the local community however, this concession is due to end March 2022 then we become liable for this expense. Fundraising activities could not go ahead and were put on hold until it is safe and appropriate to resume. We are receiving regular donations from the website www.easyfundraising.org.uk which the group signed up to in 2018, the donations are now over £900 to date. Essentially any online purchases which are linked to the West Hatch Scout Group through Easyfundraising generates income, if you have not signed up please do, the link is within OSM or ask a leader who can help you. West Hatch Scout Group has been lucky to receive money in the form of grants due to the pandemic which has helped the group financially, typically this would have been raised through fundraising activities. Expenditure for the HQ project continued, principally focusing on the main hall with more improvements planned subject to funding. The executive committee and leaders are planning fundraising activities for the coming year subject to national and scouting guidance and would appreciate your support, if you could spare a couple of hours please step forward. The annual accounts are balanced to the bank accounts and are in order, copies are available on request. They will be submitted to the Charity Commission following approval at the AGM. ## **Paul Derrick** **Group Treasurer** ## **West Hatch Scout Group Annual Accounts Balance Sheet 2020 – 2021** |**West Hatch Scout Group Annual Accounts Balance Sheet 2020 – 2021**|**West Hatch Scout Group Annual Accounts Balance Sheet 2020 – 2021**| |---|---| |**Receipts**
