This can be exacerbated depending upon the tsming of key activities and the ts'ming of parental contributions compared to payment for the acts'vities. Our cash surplus of £6500 in this financial year follows a deficit of £ (6700) in the prior year Sources of receipts {£27549} arise from.. The pnmary purpose of scouting activities (subscriptions and parental contnbutions to activities) £17600 Third party donations for use of the scout group's marquees.. £3900. This is a 600/0 increase on pnor year {£2500) and is a significant contribution to Scout funds. Sub letting the Scout Hut to PK pre-school and other ad hoc scout hut hire.. £3800 Fundraising and donations. £1700. Over £1100 generated from quiz night, £250 from the Co- Op Retail Local community fund and other smaller contributions from vanous village activities. Specific efforts to Increase interest Income have worked well eaming £563 in the year compared with £42 in prior year. Payments made in the year totalled £21065. resulting in a cash surplus of £ 6484 Scout Association levy {£3800), covering HQ, County and District) were unchanged at £56.25 per head, or 42¥0 of our own annual subscnption. Fortunately, Distnct reduced their fees for this year only by £5.25 per head to match the increase from HQ and County We can expect the levy to increase significantly in February 2028, and this will undoubtedly place pressure on the current level of subscriptions. (£45 per term). To help mitigate nsing costs we invite all parents who are taxpayers to confinn that we may collect GiftAid on subscnptions and other eligible donations. Property expenses of £4700 We are managing gas and electric ￿*sts through fixing rates, but pressures stay on cleaning, insurance, and general property maintenance. Section activities (camps. activities etc) training and badges, equipment £9700 Marquee maintenance and repairs £600 Other costs £2300 Includes fundraising costs. payment fees for OSM and GO Cardless, professional fees and small admin payments. Balance Sheet Cash resources stay healthy at £25900. We continue to focus on generatsng value from our cash resources. A 12-month fixed deposit of £7800 is held with Shawbrook Bank and £17300 with CAF Bank in a combination of savings and current accounts. All funds are held in accounts protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. These accounts report a £780 historical balance with Lloyds Bank. Efforts are underway to find and release these funds in Lloyds although we need to rely on histoncal officials who have the only authonty to deal with Lloyds.
