Annual 2024 Treasurer Report
Key Highlights
-
2023/24 saw a continuation of good attendance across the 4 packs of the 1[st] Horam Scout Group.
-
We received a grant from the Youth Investment Fund (YIF) of just under £23,000 which has allowed us to replace the aging roof.
-
We were again chosen by the local Co Op as a nominated local cause which has raised £2,740 so far this year and we hope for an additional payment later in the year.
-
Out thanks are extended to the Horam Parish Council for the grant of £850 which has been put towards the replacement of blinds in the Scout Hut
-
Group Funds (excluding the section accounts) increased from £19,156 to £20,403 due to increased fund raising and strong attendance in the sections. This remains well above our reserve limit of £3,500.
Commentary
The major project completed this year was the replacement of the aging asbestos roof which was completely replaced in February 2024. This project was fully funded by the grant from the Youth Investment Fund.
Other Fund raising activities were carried out during the year including the Co Op sponsorship of £2,740, Fun Day donation of £1,700, a quiz night £505 and lots of fund raising activities by the packs, especially the Scouts and Explorers.
Overall income was £46,806 for the year which was almost double that of 2023 (Due mostly to the YIF grant). Expenditure of £49,197 meant we ran a deficit of £2,391 for the year. This is entirely due to Summer Camp pre-payments in Scouts and Explorers in 2023 being used for the Holland camp in this year’s finances. If you excluded this impact the Group ran at a surplus over £2,500.
The current healthy bank balances and current attendance means the Group looks in excellent financial health for the coming year.
