Ilford East District Scout Couneil Notes to Statement of Financial Activitle$ to the 31, January 2022 Fund detalls Barnes This is a legacy from a former District Commlssioner and first Warden of Hargreaves IWE Barnesl given for the development of the camp site. This includes funds raised and expenditure on construction of the Barnes Centre. Additions are donations, fundraising and interest on funds in the 30-day notice account. Explorer5 Expeditlon The Explorer fund is a legary fund relating from a trip to Uganda. It was agreed at the last AGM that the funds could be spent on Explorer expeditions rather than specifically on a trip to UgandalAfrica. Re5errfes policy Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. The charity average monthly spending was £4322.83 per month during the year to 31" January 2022. The trustees therefore consider that the ideal level of reserve5 would cover six months spending which is approximately £25,937. The free reserves come to £507,830 with cash at bank of £341,834 at the 31, January 2022. The trustees consider the charity is in a healthy position to continue support the charity objectives for the merger of Ilford East District into the new Redbridge District. Unpald Membership The sum of £950 is to be written off as unrecoverable debt in the accounts to the 31" January 2022.
