The Group made a net loss of £61,127 for the year and has an accumulated surplus Of £41,424. This year's loss compares to
the surplus last year of £2,114. The difference is due to the Group spending £91.903 during this year on major improvements
to the he3dqu3rters 8t the Montpelier Park H311. Works included a new expanded kitchen, new reconfigured toilets, better
storage arrangements and a ￿mOdel11n8 of the staircase to the fi.rst floor to create storage and improve safetv.
These costs have been partly funded by substantially increased donations and fundraising (net £27,777 versus £4,230 In
20231241. Fundraising event5 included another 5ucce55ful Cornrnunity Day in May,. a group of leader5 running the Ealing Half
Marathon and raising £6,673 in the proc&ss; the sale of craftwork and 1st Ealing North clothing,. and running stalls at 3
Christmas market. Donations included £10,450 from longstanding Supporte￿ of the Group, and £3,433 from the employer of
one of the leader5, in recognition of the value of their volunteering. The Group plans to tnake a donation towards the cost of
the Scouts trip to Kandersteg in August 25.

work it took to plan and manage the irnprovements. The Group rernains in a robust h"nancial position and plans to make
further moderni5ing improvements to the Montpelier Park Hall. While the Group'5 lease of the Hall has expired, the Group is
'holding ov&r under the terms of the expired lease and benefits from security of tenure which provided sufficient comfort for
the Trustees to approve the investments in the improvements.
Activitr"es such as trips and camps are expected to be self-fundine. Activity revenue of £27,536124.. £20,380) covered the
achvitie5 C05t of £26,281124.. £21,783) despite the activities Cost a150 including pack night expenditure.
The running costs (electricity and waterl of the Montpelier Park Hall totalled £6,03612024.. £2,542) for the year, the increase
being due to general increases in electricity prices (the Group previously benefi'tted from 3 favourable fixed rat& tariff) 3nd
additional electricity costs during the 2 months of improvement works. The Trustees are assessing whether to upgrade the
Hall'5 heating and lighting to reduce future running costs.
Sundry payments of £86012024-. £6221 include IT (Google Suite, Online Scout Manager),. and uniform costs for leader5.
Equipment costs of É2,69512024.. £3,231) mainly included new camping equipment, with the prior year cost being higher due
