District Treasurers Report
Report on activities
On a cash accounting basis, during financial year 2021-22, the District recorded a loss of -£1797.16. This is due to a later invoicing of census fees to April 2022, after year end. Once income from 2021 census fees and the corresponding levy to South London Scouts Council are accounted for, the accounts show a surplus of £1761.84.
Income from the year is linked to the TYM 2022 activity that occurred later in May however, as we follow a cash accounting approach, these revenues appear ahead of the relevant event. Income from minibus hire has been £575, up from 0 the previous year but roughly half of the 2019-20 fiscal year. Badges sales also increased, however were at much lower level than the year we are using as reference prior to Covid and Covid-induced restrictions.
As the activities during the year were limited, however thanks to the kind grants received (£974.91 Alexander Fund and £42 donation) the district was able to support the training of members.
In terms of expenses, once accounted for, the levy represents the largest item. Expenses for activities (£3250.7) were composed by the contribution to the Jamboree fees (£3,000), the Young Marines prepayment (£667) and the movie licence (£250.99). The District also held a First Aid training (£879.71), kindly supported by the Alexander fund, in line with its compliance obligations.
In May 2022, the District became aware of the ownership of a plot of land. The District had become legal owner of the land following the closure of 6th Balham and Tooting, however this had not been communicated to the District until May 2022. This plot of land is now an asset of the District and has been recorded as such in the balance sheet for an estimated value of £16,000.
No write-offs of the District’s credits are believed to be necessary, as there is reasonable expectation that 8[th] Wandsworth, the largest debtor to the Scout council, will settle their £3,225 debt in due course.
The group closed the year in a healthy financial situation with £ 31,204.45 in the bank and limited liabilities.

District Commissioner’s Report
We are delighted that this past year has enabled a return to face to face Scouting in Wandsworth. For some this was a race to the meeting place in order to banish to the dim and distant past their Zoom meetings with Young People, for others it allowed a more gradual return as the confidence of the Young People, their parents and their Leaders gained confidence in meeting face to face once again. Some Groups have been able to go one step further and have embarked on residential experiences. These are continuing to become a more frequent occurrence across all Groups in the District, culminating in the fantastic District Water Weekend for which we give thanks to Chris Hayes, Charlie Hardman and their many volunteers.
Wandsworth District is once again fortunate to be represented at the next World Scout Jamboree in Korea next Summer. We have six Young People selected to join the Greater London South contingent. They are currently working hard to fundraise for this fantastic adventure alongside joining in with their training camps and getting to know their contingent leaders and other members of the unit.
Training among our adult volunteers continues to progress. We have been able to use an external facilitator for some of the first aid training, while others have completed this through the County provision. Mandatory Learning is always going to be ongoing, but we are pleased to be able to report that by and large this is being completed without the need for too much follow up. Please keep up the focus.
We would like to thank our many volunteers on whom the District depends to keep things running and enabling so many Young People to experience Scouting, from the person who gives an hour every now and then, to those volunteers who have been with us for many years. Occasionally, we have to say goodbye to people as they move on and we would like to say a special Thank You to Claire Holloway, who after giving 25 years loyal service at 1[st] East Putney Group has left Wandsworth for her own Scottish adventure.
With your support, Peter and I will continue to lead Wandsworth in the coming year through the changes that await us.
Peter and Christine
Chairperson’s Report
Firstly, thank you for attending tonight’s AGM. As an executive we exist to represent the District and it is important the Executive are held to account and a proper mandate is served. Secondly, I would like to thank all members of the Scouting Movement in Wandsworth. The young people, adults and volunteers who commit to Scouting are all an essential part of Scouting being a success.
Compared to the previous year, it has been a relatively quiet year in terms of the District. We have witnessed the post pandemic return to face to face Scouting properly which has been mostly successful and we have begun to organise and arrange District events once again. The District’s finances are healthy and we are able to support events such as the District Fun Day in September.
Despite the return to a sense of normality, the executive sadly confirmed the closure of 100[th] Wandsworth. It is always sad to see a Group close and I would like to thank everyone involved at 100[th] Wandsworth for the time they committed to the Group.
I have alluded to the efforts volunteers make in the District and if we do not get more volunteers involved it will only be a matter of time before another group goes the same way as 100[th] Wandsworth. With this in mind, please do keep on the lookout for anyone who may be interested in getting involved in Scouting and in the first instance speak to Peter or Christine. I hope Matt’s presentation about volunteer changes makes it easy to see how simple it can be to volunteer and provide extra support to groups.
I would like to thank the executive who have continued to meet regularly to discuss District matters and all of whom genuinely care about Scouting in Wandsworth. Particular thanks must go to Sammy who has now been our District Secretary for five years and puts together intricate minutes every meeting; and Francesco who it is fair to say is an outstanding treasurer who goes above and beyond to make sure we remain ‘in the black’ as well as dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.
Finally, on behalf of the District I would like to thank Peter and Christine who continue to immerse themselves in Scouting and seem to give every free minute to the Movement! Wandsworth Scouting would not be in anywhere near as strong a position as it is without their continued commitment and I hope the District can rally round and continue to support them in the year ahead.
