Treasurer’s Report on the  2023 accounts for 1[st] Chandlers Ford Scout Group 

First I wish to express my thanks, once again, to Kimberley Neeve for reviewing the accounts so efficiently this year. 

The accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis which means there is no attempt to “match” income with expenditure. No account has been made for valuing property or equipment held or accruing/prepaying costs. This is usual practise for a small charity, and is the same basis as previous years’. 

As you will observe from the accounts, subscriptions less “normal” weekly meeting costs are down around £3k this year compared with 2022 at £16,742. This was mainly due to lower numbers in the Beaver and Scout sections. 

The Group’s operating costs were very similar to last year at £12,833 (2022 - £12,352). 

Net group clothing cost was £184 (2022 – 570). This should be close to zero, but due to the timing of clothing purchases with sales to group members, a small positive or negative figure should be expected. 

Group camps and activities showed a small net income of £1,513 (2022 - £2,264). Again this should be close to zero. However, due to a) timing differences in the income and expenditure, b) the fact that a small surplus is included when charging out the cost of these activities to cover contingencies and to pay Go Cardless fees, a small income should be expected. 

The resulting net income from Scout Activities was £5,239 compared with £9,176 last year. 

Hut Hire income was up £2.75k on 2022 at £14.8k. This was mainly due to an increase being negotiated with Audi for the use of the car park. However, 2024 may show a reduction due to the loss of the Prayer Group income on Fridays. 

Overall the costs of running the hut broadly remain unchanged at £10.4k. Electricity is down £1k but Insurance and Inspection & Maintenance are up £0.9k and £0.8k respectively. 

The net cost of financing the charity was £0.5k (2022 - £0.9k). This improvement came from interest rates received improving over the two years. Going forward we should see a significant improvement as more funds have been put on deposit, however, this may not be fully seen in the accounts until 2025 as this is when the deposits will mature. 

Donation income went up by £1.2k mainly due to the increase in Gift Aid receipts. This should be accounted to the increase in Big Build activities, but it is impossible to split this income between ‘Big Build’ and ‘General’. 



Big Build net donations were £15.2k compared with 22.3k the year before. Specific grant donations to the Big Build were down by £4.5k at £4.1k, and there was a change of effort from raising money from running lots of very labour intensive stalls at local festivals to one big push on the Woggle Jogle. 

The overall surplus from all activities was £28.2k compared with £34.7k in 2022. As stated above, £15.2k of that surplus relates to Big Build with the balance relating to the General Fund. 

In summary, the accumulated Big Build Fund now stands at £104.8k and the General Fund at £33.9k 

During the year The Executive moved £70k from non-interest paying CAF Bank into interest paying National Westminster. During 2024 The Executive have made further transfers in order to maximise interest receivable.
