**FIRST ROYAL ELTHAM (HOLY TRINITY) SCOUT GROUP Registered Charity No.303660** 

## **TREASURER’S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2020** 

## **Introduction** 

Both the Scout Association and the Charity Commission require accounts to be kept at least on a minimal “receipts and payments” basis.  The attached accounts meet these criteria but go further by including more sophisticated features such as Prepayments, Depreciation and calculation of profit and loss.  These additional features are required by the exceptional size and complexity of the Group, which the Trustees believe call for it to be managed on a more business-like basis than most Groups around the Country. 

## **Income** 

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was an unprecedented year for all, not just those involved in scouting, but the wider world. The lockdowns that followed resulted in the suspension of scouting activities for most of 2020 and the group abilities to generate funds. The main source of our income in previous years from Crafty Wizards was significantly reduced. However, the subsequent Local Restrictions Support Grant s made available to the Group through the Royal Borough of Greenwich meant that the groups income was safeguarded for 2020. 

## **Expenses** 

The group incurred costs at the beginning of the pandemic to make both Avery Hill and Southend Crescent COVID secure for when lockdown restrictions were lifted. 

Subscriptions to District were increased substantially yet again. 

## **Overheads** 

Overheads returned to a normal level in 2020 following the essential repairs to both Avery Hill and Southend Crescent in 2019. 

## **Balance Sheet** 

The balance sheet remains in good health with deposits still being held in both the STIS Savings and Building Society accounts with the deposit in the Building Society account being increased in year. 

## **General** 

Although it was a challenging and disappointing year for scouting due to the COVID-19 pandemic the group had returned to surplus in 2020mainly due to the one-off essential repairs incurred in 2019 and the Local Restriction Grants received in year. The Groups financial position remains secure going in to 2021 and we look forward to being able to resume normal scouting activities in 2021 in a safe, secure and well-maintained environment. 

Special thanks to our Auditor, John Howard, for the auditing the accounts in such a short space of time. 

David Knevett (Group Treasurer)

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of First Royal Eltham (Holy Trinity) Scout Group Charity no. 303660** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
