**Treasurer Report for the 215th (1st Totley) Scout Group Charity Number 515836**
## **Prepared by Dan Brookman**
Report Date: 11/01/2026 - Accounts Y/E 2025
## **Summary**
The group finances are in good health and at the time of writing we have £23,314 in hand with no major outlays planned.
The group received considerable restricted funding from the Youth Investment Fund (YIF) £64,970 (funding agreed in the previous year) and from the Sheffield Council Local Area Committee (LAC) £10,000
For a third year we failed to reclaim GiftAid due to myself not being recognised as a responsible person by HMRC. This has now been rectified and a Gift Aid claim is in progress.
## **Income**
Our unrestricted income for the year to 31/03/2025 was £60,057. This includes Donations of £40, Fundraising of £14,695, Subscriptions of £27,272 and Camps and Trips of £17,821. In addition, we received £74,970 in restricted funds as part of the grants for the refurbishment.
## **Expenses**
Our unrestricted expenses for the same period were £52,769. With restricted expenses associated with the refurbishment of £86,375. A full set of accounts is available on the charity commission website. Scouting UK Subscription for the period was £9,469.50 (this is the proportion of subscription paid that goes to the Scouts). We had an unforeseen cost on acoustic paneling of £8806.80 which was required following the replacement of our floor.
## **Net Income**
Net income for the year was (-£4,117) Reserves carried forward from the previous year were £27,431 giving us a positive cash position at Y/E of £23,314
## **Financial Position**
Our current balance as of 11/01/2026 is £26,493. We have 182 members across 7 groups and are currently at 92% capacity. Our budget for the year end 2026 is £52,000. In addition we have circa £24k due to us in gift aid.
## **Hardship Fund**
Last year we introduced a hardship fund in response to the cost of living crisis with an initial budget of £500. I can report that this fund has not been utilised.
## **Grants**
## **During the period we received £10k from the LAC and £3.7k from the local Coop Fund**
## **Acknowledgements**
I’d like to acknowledge the new auditor Gavin Johns who checked over and signed off the accounts.
## **Forthcoming Changes**
Over the next period I’ll be passing the Treasurer role to Chris Wade.
## **Leader Incentive**
We’ve now implemented the leader incentive which was launched last year to help with the recruitment drive which includes the following:
- Jump the queue if you have kids waiting to go into a group
- 50% refund on termly subs, paid at the end of the term.
## **Conclusion**
Overall, the 215th (1st Totley) Scout Group is in a good financial position. We are confident that we will be able to continue to provide high-quality scouting activities to our members without needing to raise subscriptions.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the bank statements, spreadsheet and Annual Report for 2024 - 2025 for me to review.
I have identified a few errors, mainly on your worksheet and Annual Return within the spreadsheet and then reflected in your Annual Report.
The main corrections relate to the opening and closing balances of your Lottery, Business and Savings accounts and the previous year's summary amounts.
To ensure the accounts for 2024 - 2025 balanced correctly, I had to include a corrective amount of £103 (better than last year's £296) which I couldn't find without matching every transaction in every bank statement - too much effort!
I have attached an updated copy of your spreadsheet with updated worksheet and Annual Return figures highlighted in orange and your Annual Report with corrections, highlighted in yellow, including my surname!
I hope you are happy with the updates and I'm happy to sign off the accounts accordingly.
I'm ok to carry on checking your accounts next year.
Regards
Gavin

Hi Gavin
Brilliant. Thanks for checking them over and giving them the sign off. I've distributed them to the committee for approval and will get them submitted.
