1st Ealing North Scout Group
Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2023
Major Activities and Achievements in the Year
Scouting activity returned to normal for the first time since 2019/20 with the ending of all COVID19 pandemic restrictions. A full programme of activities took place including Summer Camp and a Group Camp at the Stoke Poges with over 90 young people and leaders camping at Stoke Poges. The Group made a surplus of £2,619 for the year and has an accumulated surplus of £100,833. This compares to the surplus last year of £1,993.
Net Subscriptions were £8,256 (including Gift Aid Tax Reclaim of £2,203) compared to £6,608 in 2022, which reflects increased headcount from 92 to 104.
Pack night activities are expected to be funded out of subs while trips and camps are expected to be selffunding.
Activity revenue of £21,566 (22: £4,242) was lower than the activity cost of £23,452 (22: £5,323) due to spending some of the £10,000 grant the Group received in 2020 to subsidise activities. The increased activity revenue and cost amounts versus 2022 reflecting the full resumption of section activity in person and the wide range of activities arranged by section leaders.
The Group remains in a robust financial position and plans to make modernising improvements to the Montpelier Park Hall. This depends on both the resolution of lease discussions with Ealing Council, which are ongoing, and additional fundraising.
During the year the group raised a net of £2,968 (2022: £2,542) for the General Fund which included a Community Day in May and a Christmas event in December. Donations totalling £788 were received from the employer of one of the leaders, in recognition of the value of their volunteering. Bank interest of £501 (2022: £24) reflects increased interest rates.
The running costs (electricity and water) of the Montpelier Park Hall totalled £1,820 (2022: £542) for the year, the increase being due to general increases in electricity prices, and the previous year included a large refund within the water bill. Repairs and maintenance costs of £438 (2022: £1,681), the prior year included the costs of work to improve the storage areas of the Hall, including installation of new adjustable shelving.
The terms of the new lease would mean that the Group will be responsible for internal & external maintenance. The new lease agreement is still not finalised and the group is ensuring the Council remain responsible for all works outstanding in the meantime.
Sundry payments of £548 (2022: £386) include IT (Google Suite, Online Scout Manager and a wifi router and access) which have improved administration efficiency, and assist compliance with General Data Protection Regulations; and minibus driving training for leaders.
Equipment costs £2,201 (2022: £2,179) included new camping equipment, and £481 was spent on uniform costs (2022 £322) with the increase mainly due to scarf purchases following the full resumption of in person section activity, and the successful establishment of a second Scout Troop.
The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Groups. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association.
The accounts have been drawn up on an accruals basis, which is consistent with the previous year.
Approved by the Trustees on 25 September, 2023 and signed on their behalf by the Chair.
