Treasurer’s report 7[th] Grantham St Johns Scout Group 

Year 01/04/2024-31/03/2025 

Treasurer – Mr T.A Walton 

## **Summary** 

Account balance brought forward £31,392.19 

Total income £43,396.25 

Total expenditure £47,541.91 

Net income £ -4,145.66 

Account balance carried forward £27,246.53 

## **Additional Information** 

Money in the accounts was greater than expected because we held money on behalf of Grantham District Scouts for the cub Scouts Trip to Paris. This will mean that less income will be generated in Year 2025-2026. 

The board of trustees has agreed to set aside £10,000 in a savings account to cover emergencies such as major repairs of equipment or assets. This also reflects running costs of the scout hut and unit should another Covid like situation occur. We estimate this money would cover repairs to any major system such as heating and allow for 3 months operation in an emergency allowing existing bills and overheads to be paid. 

£5,500 has been set aside to cover the Tythe to district, county and national organisations at the end of the year. A further £1000 has been set aside for insurance renewal in the autumn of 2025. 

At this time, we have not put up ground rent for our tenants, However the trustees will review this next year. 

Going forward it is the intention of the Trustees that all accounts will be maintained electronically using the Online Scout Manager system. This has been communicated to all stakeholders. 

The Trustees have been informed that despite a net loss we still have a small surplus of funds that should be used to provide activities for the Young People and to provide a hardship fund to allow full participation. 

It is the Trustees intention to work towards having a comprehensive budget for all sections by the start of the 2026-2027 financial year.
