## 2nd Ewell (Rainsters) Scout Group ## Registered Charity No 305717 Income & expenditure for the year ending 31st March 2022 |**Receipts:**|**£32,904.40**|**Payments:**|**£20,295.40**| |---|---|---|---| |Subscriptions|£9,101.00|Camps/ events|£1,179.94| |Hall hire|£3,450.00|Utilities|£441.12| |Events/camps|£2,436.00|Capitation & District|£4,306.00| |Misc|£1,625.36|Hut repairs & insurance|£3,267.65| |Gift Aid|£5,625.04|Minibus|£1,253.90| |Grants|£10,667.00|Scout shop|£0| |||Miscellaneous|£1,426.62| |||Equipment|£183.06| |||Windows|£7,080.91| |||Repaint|£1,156.20| ## **Key notes on Year Ending 31st March 2022** The relaxing of COVID restrictions meant we were able to return to a normal face to face programme of scouting for the majority of the financial year. **Subs levels were held** at £50 per term - these have not been increased since 2019. Subs income improved by effective "reminding" of parents. The removal of COVID restrictions from May 2021 combined with the significant improvements to the hut interior and exterior resulted in a **significant uplift in hall hire income** from children’s parties - all driven by word of mouth. This provided some offset against the absence of any income from a nursery – approval process is ongoing. We received further **COVID grants** for COVID related shutdowns based on our ownership of the hall premises. We also submitted a gift aid claim – receiving **£5,625.04** for up to 4 years of historic subs payments (where parents had completed a gift aid form) - it really makes a difference! We have invested **significant money and time** in improving the hut - installing new windows and doors, jet washing the exterior back to concrete and repainting, repainting the interior, sanding, repairing and reoiling the floor. Aside from the windows and doors, costs have been kept to a minimum by doing the tasks ourselves. Storm Eunice has presented a rethink for our storage requirements - which will involve insurance claim, capital expenditure, grant seeking and other -raising activity. Closing total after receipts and payments is current account **£35,402** plus Business Reserve **£22,136** so a total of **£57,538** is carried forward. 1 ## **Future outlook and plan:** As at 31st March 2022, the UK is free of COVID restrictions, normal scouting activities should resume including face to face meets and camps Scouting activities. We also hope the Nursery will come onstream this year, providing regular hall income in addition to a service to the local community. We have added a second long term hirer for one of the non-scouting group nights and have a healthy stream of bookings for children’s parties for 2022. We are conscious of the increasing utility costs – our electric fixed deal ends in the summer of 2022 so we will be looking to refix our rates and assess efficiency improvements. Teds shed (the storage garage) hit by the tree has been written off by 2 surveyors, insurance claim is proceeding Dependent on events, our plan will include some or all of the following: Installation of gate to Gibraltar Rec. Planning application for new storage / office facility and solar panels. Rebuilding storage. Upgrading of the driveway. Scrubbing down and repainting the front gates. We will have a continued focus on collecting subscriptions and gift aid to facilitate the above plans.
