1st Balderton Scout Group
Financial Statement 2022/2023
Charity Number - 522424
For the 1st Balderton Scout Group's financial year ending March 2023 the total annual income was £30,905, which is £9,000 more than the previous year, mainly attributed to increased fundraising, hall hire, and membership fees.
The total annual expenditure was £27,903, which is £11,000 more than the previous year, primarily due to increased expenses in insurance, utilities, and hall maintenance.
The bank balance at the end of March 2023 was £27,346. Of this amount £14,000 is to be kept in reserves to be able to keep the Scout group running for 12 months should income and fundraising activities fall short.
Overall, the 1st Balderton Scout Group saw a positive increase in income compared to the previous year, but this was offset by higher expenditures, resulting in a relatively balanced financial situation.
