5. Treasurers Report, Statement of Accounts for 2021/2022

Income and Expenditure 2021/2022

We had received 2 grants from Trafford which central government had offered to group who paid business rates to help them through the pandemic and which we were entitled to, which totalled £20K in 2021. We then were given another grant of £8K in this financial year. The room hire figures increased from last year when our regular room hire group were back using Quest daily after being unable to use Quest due to the restrictions due to COVID. There were 2 donations to £500.00 to the two members of Quest who will be attending the jamboree, Erin and Millie and Erins mother was at the meeting and expressed her thanks.

Mainly due to the additional grant there was a surplus of income over expenditure this year of £9585.00. The 3RBS bank accounts we had (current, building and maintained and Membership account) have moved to an online Lloyds account.

6. Acceptance of the Treasure’s Reports 2021/2022

7. GSL’s report 2021/2022

We have moved out of the pandemic, regrouped and worked using zoom meetings.

April 2021 was still a period of flux, some restrictions, but we started to return to F2F scouting and children were able to meet up with their friends. We lost a few leaders who did not want to return after the pandemic and we are experiencing a slow growth in adult leaders as numbers have started to increase. without adult volunteers there would be no Quest, no District and no County, so Matt wanted to thank all the adult volunteers.

Ona appositive note, leaders completed mandatory training to get all sections back outdoors camping. We are a strong group and this is reflected in the number of badges and awards given out.

Looking forward we still need to grow, need new adult volunteers which is the same all across the County, (a similar situation was after the war, children’s numbers bounced back but it took time for the adult volunteer numbers to increase). Youth numbers have bounced back and are back at pre pandemic numbers.

We need to make aware that volunteering as an adult at scouting is exciting!

We have new challenges next spring, there are big changes ahead and we need to use this time to see if everyone is doing a role they want, it may be as part of a team rather than an individual role. The changes may make volunteering in scouting more attractive as being part of a team may appeal.

We need to keep an eye on our costs, there is a financial crisis all across the UK so we need to be mindful for our families, and on our energy costs. Safety around our building is something we are concentrating on, with a risk assessment and a fire risk

assessment which are well overdue being updated and we are looking at updating our data protection issues as soon as we can. Quest will be a better place once these issues are sorted.
