**Wantage Scout Group Financial report 2021-2022** 



This report covers the period from April 2021 through to end of March 2022 … a year when activities progressively returned to ‘normal’ after a year of Covid-19 lockdown.  So, a very different income and spend profile to 2020-21.  We also started a Challow Beavers/Cubs group and an Explorer Scout section, both are managed financially within the Wantage Scout Group. 

## **2021-22 accounts** 

**Overall summary** :  Our finances are in good health … We started the year with £30,626 in our various accounts (1[st] KA, 4[th] KA and Wantage Scout Group).  We had income of £35,615 versus expenditure of £30,832.  So, we close the year with an increased balance of £35,410, in a good position to move forward to 2022-23. 

**Income** :  Subs income of £16,827 is back up versus 2021.  We removed the Covid-19 offer of reduced subs payment.  We continue to migrate subs payments online via OSM and hope to do more in the coming year such that we can rationalise the number of active accounts we manage. 

We also made a large gift aid claim of £5,749, back-dated to the previous claim in 2019.  The name change to WSG meant we needed to set up a new HMRC account, hence a relatively long delay between claims. 

Fundraising has slowly resumed - Dickensian Evening made a great profit of £1,208 – that’s a lot of burgers!  We also moved into the 21[st] Century by using contactless card payment at that event. 

The 150 Club ‘lottery’ earned a profit of £557.  We sold some of the 1[st] KA kayaks - an income of £880. 

There were significant donations (including £500 from RWE) and sponsorship (for both the ‘Winter Challenge’ and ‘50km for 50yrs’ initiatives) - totalling £2759.  We then donated half of the 50 for 50 money (£900) to the British Heart Foundation in memory of our previous treasurer Joe Williams who sadly died (too young) in 2020. 

Scout Post was unfortunately cancelled for a further year – but will hopefully return in December 2022. 

**Expenditure** :  We paid re £7,565 in fees to District/County/UK Scouting; Rent of £4,600 for the DHQ building (n.b. we do not own it); and £480 to hire Challow Village Hall. 

Activity spend across all sections came to £9,784 – showing that face to face scouting is truly back ‘on’.  This was offset by parental contributions to specific activities of £4,803.  There were some advance payments made for the International Scout Jamboree in summer 2022. 

We also spent £926 on badges; £3,172 on equipment (including £1,609 on a great new gazebo); and £183 on OSM system support.  Our insurance bill for the year was £485. 

**Thanks** :  Many thanks to Tessa Blake and Kay Williams for assisting me in managing the combined group finances, and to Erik Johnson for managing membership and subscriptions. 



Many thanks too to Darshana Patel for reviewing and completing a formal independent examination of these accounts.
