It also aims to give support in the achievement of “The Purpose of Scouting”, viz, : _to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as responsible citizens and members of their local, national and international communities_ . To achieve its objective the committee maintains and runs the building, organizes fund raising events, administers the group’s finances, arranges equipment and liability insurance, and assists in the recruitment of leaders and helpers. At present the group consists of one Squirrel Drey, one Beaver Scout colony, one Cub Scout pack and one Scout troop. Hilton Church Pre School closed in April 2022 and Tindles dance moved to their own premises at Easter 2022. Some new hirers have filled a couple of sessions, but this has had an effect on the building income. Scout and Guide section meetings fill most of the evenings. Scout, Cub and Beaver numbers remained high during the year. The Squirrel Drey opened in September 2022 with 4 new leaders to assist C Hammersley and 20 children. The Heat Pump for the building heating needed a lot of attention during the winter 2021-22 so the decision was made to fit a new unit, completed in Dec 2022. A grant was received from S. Derbyshire District Council allowing us to make a start on the long planned extension, due to be completed by Sept 2023. The Group is a trust established under its rules, which are common to all Groups. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. The Accounts have been drawn up on the receipts and payments basis, which is consistent with the previous year. The names of the Trustees who have been in office during the period from 1[st] April 2022 (start of the accounting year) to 31[st] March 2023 are as follows :- ## **Name of Trustee Dates acted if not for above period** Mr A Poulter (Chairman) – elected Mrs C Berry (Secretary)– elected Mr P Palmer (Treasurer) – elected Mr M Vick (GSL) – by appointment Mr A Hayes (SL) – by appointment Mrs D Wheeldon (CSL) – by appointment Mr S Smith(BSL) – by appointment Mr C Hammersley – by appointment I declare, in my capacity of charity trustee, that: - the trustees have approved the report above; and - have authorised me to sign it on their behalf. ……………………………………………………..(signature) ……………………………………………………..(name) ……………………………………………………..(position) ……………………………………………………..(date) **161st DERBY (HILTON) SCOUT GROUP Statement of income and expenditure 2020-21** |||**Scouts**|**Cubs**|**Beavers**|**Squirrels**|**Group**|**HQ**|| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**Income**||||||||| |Membership||||||||| |Subscriptions||1,605.00|3,275.00|2,123.50|1,350.50|||| |Camp||2,850.00|1,545.00|||||| |Activity||120.00|0.00|608.10|92.80|||| |Uniform|||||439.25|||| |Other Income||0.00|0.00|25.00|40.45||412.15|| |HMRC gift aid||||||1,035.87||| |Room Hire|||||||3,383.75|| |HQ Fund|||||||150.00|| |Grants|||||||71,690.00|| |Donations||||||600||| |Bank Interest||||||1.77|107.07|| |Less Contrib to HQ Fund||0.00|(500.00)||700.00|||| |Transfer to group||0.00|(900.00)|||||| |Capitation to district||||||(3,693.50)||| |Total||4,575.00|3,420.00|2,756.60|2,623.00|(2,055.86)|75,742.97|| |||||||||87,061.71| |**Expenditure**||||||||| |Premises||||||||| |Insuranc||||||||| |e|||||||(710.01)|| |Electric|||||||(1,727.64)|| |Water|||||||(285.77)|| |BT|||||||(218.55)|| |Cleaning|||||||(1,473.69)|| |Medicare|||||||(9.69)|| |Rates|||||||(133.12)|| |Other||||||||| |Music licence|||||||(138.40)|| |Uniform|||||(1,070.45)|||| |Camp||(2,314.00)|(1,551.56)||(191.74)|||| |Badges and equip||0.00|(401.15)|(297.32)|(328.30)|||| |Activity||(862.46)|(1,322.40)|(1,565.20)|(145.51)|||| |Misc||(50.00)|(103.39)|(250.72)|(44.00)|||| |Bank charges||||||(60.80)|(60.40)|| |Building expenses|||||||(7,699.24)|| |Extension works|||||||(22,505.00)|| |Total||(3,226.46)|(3,378.50)|(2,113.24)|(1,780.00)|(60.80)|(34,961.51)|| |||||||||(45,520.51)| |Surplus||1,348.54|41.50|643.36|843.00|(2,116.66)|40,781.46|41541.20| |||||||||41,541.20| |Opening Balance||||||||| ||Current ac|1,203.84|1865.89|716.30||14,856.83|14,431.61|| ||Deposit ac|||||468.97|4,845.23|| ||Cash In|||||||| ||Hand|354.33|-75.87|65.73|||4.75|| ||STIS acct||||||9,114.99|| |Total||1,558.17|1,790.02|782.03||15,325.80|28,396.58|| |||||||||47,852.60| |Closing Balance||||||||| ||Current ac|2,734.52|693.9|1,348.04|843.00|12,738.40|54,756.01|| ||Deposit ac|||||470.74|4,866.97|| ||Cash In|||||||| ||Hand|172.19|1137.62|77.35|||4.75|| ||STIS acct||||||9,200.31|| ||Transfer to|squirrels|||||350.00|| |Total||2,906.71|1,831.52|1,425.39|843.00|13,209.14|69,178.04|| |||||||||89,393.80| ## **161st DERBY (HILTON) SCOUT GROUP** Statement of Assets & Liabilities as at 31st March 2023 ||2023|2022|2021| |---|---|---|---| |**Monetary Assets**|||| |Current Accounts|73113.86|33074.47|28392.17| |Deposit Accounts|5337.70|5314.19|4917.41| |Scouts Short Term|||| |Investments|9200.31|9114.99|9019.99| |Cash In Hand|1391.90|348.93|516.72| |**Non Monetary Assets**|||| |Land & Buildings|110,000.00|110,000.00|110,000.00| |Equipment|10,000.00|10,000.00|10,000.00| ## **Liabilities**
