| Budget 2024 | Actual 2024 | |
| Overall | 13,879.35 | 19,177.00 |
| New roof/Grant | 32,328.00 | 32,328.00 |
| Overall loss includingSections and Subs | 5,297.00 |
Our spending in 2024 was a lot higher than in 2023. Some of this was expected and planned but some was not. Our numbers remained high and the cost of the Membership Fee paid to The Scout Association, County and District increased again this year to £4361.65.
We were lucky to get a grant to replace the roof in 2024 but because of this we needed a written Lease of at least 5 years. We contacted a Solicitor and was given a price for a simple lease, which ours turned out not to be, hence the Solicitors Fees were £2410.20.
To save the hassle of renewing the lease if any of the Signatories leave the Group it has been signed by The Scout Association Trust Corporation, this cost us £540.00
The New Roof was fitted in November and the hall is now noticeably warmer than it was,
The panels were delivered and fitted but although 50 mil panels were ordered 100 mil panels were delivered at no extra cost. Great news the hall will now be even warmer, - bad news the fascia boards no longer reach the top of the roof. Hartburn Roofers said if we paid for the materials they would fit it free of charge, which we/they did. Luckily there was some money left in the contingency fund from the Youth Investment Fund and we received some money towards this cost this year.
In 2023 we did very little improvements in the hall but knew this would need to be done in 2024. 2 of the radiators had stopped working and it was decided that we would replace all 4 with more efficient ones. Some of the Emergency Lights needed to be replaced as well as some lights in the hall, although there are still some items that needed to be replaced and these will be done this year.
The subsidised Group Camp took place in July when we took 50 young people to Beamish and the cost to the Group was £1621.78.
The 50th Birthday celebration held at Ravengill Camp Site in September had to be booked and paid for in May. We booked places we thought we would need but the take up was low, hence the loss of just under £100.00.
The Explorers had not given us a donation for using the hall in 2023 and this was paid in January 2024. Since then they have paid each term. With new Leadership Team in place, a new Partnership Agreement has been put in place and the donation paid is now on use rather than the number of people using the hall, this will make the donation a constant figure.
We are aware that we do look as if we have quite a lot of money in our Bank Accounts but with the extra work done last year and expected to be done in 2025 the Trustee Board thought it prudent of us to raise the Subs paid per child to £10 per month starting in September. A letter will be sent to all parents about this.
We do claim Gift Aid and for those who do not know it is a Government Scheme whereby charities can claim back the tax you have paid on your child's subs. This increases the value of the subs by 20%. The Claim for 2024 will be
submitted soon so if you have not signed a Gift Aid Declaration, only 1 form is needed per family for the duration of their time in the group, please let me know as we have the forms here.
There will be a full set of accounts at he meeting if you would like to see them or if you have any questions please get in touch with me.
