Notes to Accompany Financial Statement for st I" Fetcham Scout Group year ended 31 March 2025 Scouts 1st Fetcham Overview 'Business as usual, is the headline for this year. Unsurprisingly our day to day running costs have continued to rise, but membership and participation in group events remains strong. Bank interest rates, while stronger this year have begun to decline though interest received s a significant amount of our income due to our large savings deposit in preparation for the re-build of our HQ which we have made significant strides towards this year. Our local fundraising event was particularly strong this year and we have made huge improvements in how we collect in our subs and manage membership. Headline Numbers As at 31st March 2025 total Group Assets were £319184.22 This is made up of the minibus valued at £5k, £7K in current accounts and cash across the group and £303K in our Saving accounts. The group accounts shows a surplus of £20.2K, compared with a surplus of £8.8K for the previous year. This is due to a variety of factors. the most significant of which are- During 2024-25 fund raising continued, we again received a 4K donation from BP due to their employee volunteering hours scheme. We also raised funds through various small donations made by individuals and groups making use of the hut; through collection boxes/commercial fund-raising schemes and participation running stalls at various local events. The most significant fund-raising event was the Fetcham Fair in June 2024 which raised over £9K. Festival takings were up on the previous year mainly due to excellent weather on the day and the use of tokens for participation in smaller games. Use of card payment machines may also have had an impact. We also raised £800 by hiring out our tents and equipment. Overall subs income is up significantly from 23124 as we have collected these more diligently and opened further sections with a gift of £300 from our District team. Transport costs remain high with more maintenance needed forthe minibus. Plus, we have shown further depreciation of £500 on the minibus. Utilities costs have been streamlined through the use of switching services and 2- year contracts established to manage ongoing costs. Section Accounts Thanks again to the Treasurers for the sections who have kept their accounts in good order during the year. As at Year End the settions held funds as follows- Squirrels £4227 {Note that this is due to a £4K donation which was moved to Group funds afteryear end.)
