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.
