Melton Scout Campsite Trust Registered Charity No. 1144871 Explanatory Notes to Receipts and Payments Account for Period 1 st January 2021 to 31 st December 2021
Accounting Notes…………………..None to report
Other Notes
Running Account Payments.
Covid Pandemic measures imposed by the Government and by the Scouting Authorities meant that the site suffered reduced usage at various periods during the year. This continued to have a dramatic effect on income from regular sources with corresponding effects on expenditure. However, work continued with landscape maintenance. Insurance level was increased to account for the value of the New Warden’s Chalet but this was done at a very reasonable increase in the premium. Our electricity supplier was changed in October as the increased tariff quoted by Opus Energy was too high; however the transfer to Scottish Power has been fraught with difficulties and problems. In fact we still await confirmation of our reduced VAT status and billing arrangements.
Running Account Receipts
Income from The Lodge, Camping and Site Use was well below prepandemic levels falling below 50% of those achieved in 2018 and 2019. However as business rate payers and a charity we continued to receive Government grants paid via ERYC in excess of £16000.00. This has meant we have received more income than in pre-pandemic years which along with a Legacies from the estates ofMr Trevor Norman and John Todd which contributed to the Improvement Account and enabled the construction of Birdies’s Nest (Warden’s Chalet) to continue to the point of internal finishing. It would be prudent to continue to maintain a balance of approx. £3000 in the Running Account to allow for contingencies.
Improvement Account Payments
It has still not been possible to replace the Climbing Wall but work has started on re-building the Warden’s Chalet (proposed name Birdie’s
Nest). The only payments made from the Improvement Account during the year were towards this new building.
Improvement Account Receipts
Fund raising during 2021 was non-existent as Covid and building work prevented any significant activity. However as seen above there is a surplus of at least £10K in the Running Account and a further £3K in the Improvement Account. This should allow sufficient funds to substantially complete Birdie’s Nest though there may be need for “top-up” funding for finishing touches.
