7th Grantham (St. John's)Scout Group Report for Accounts year ended 31 March 2024 The accounts do show that we are still in a good position at the start of the new financial year. What we do need to remember is that we have ringfenced £5,000 to a support and opportunity fund and this will be used to help towards activities that some of our members may not be able to attend without. We have also allocated £5,000 to cover the reflectlon area and other works to improve our outside space, (some of this has come from grants and cannot be used elsewhere). The replacement of the gates is ongoing, we are awaiting quotes and we are aiming to replace the lighting in the main hall. We are also in the process of installing cctv (thls comes as a result of damage and break ins at one of our fellow scout groups. The high level on event income is due to our account being used to accept all payments for the district Cub trip to PGL Paris. this was to make it easier to keep check on monies received and pald out as the district account is not on-line. Utilities went down slightly, but thls was due to us signing up to a good deal before all the prices increased and also altering the timer for heating etc. 50Yo of our subscriptions were taken up by the membership fee charged by Headquarters, County and District, as a result these were increased as of 1 April 2024, there are no plans to increase these in April 2025. We have not been able to replace our treasurer as yet and the accounts are maintsined by Sue Newbat( but reviewed at each trustee meeting by all presenL Sandra Otter and Roy Matthews both have access to the on-line banking so are able to keep an eye on what is happening and as they are now on OSM for the current year, all the Section Leads are able to view what is happening as it happens.
