Treasurers Report
We have seen a healthy increase in revenue with rentals, donations and fund raising doing very well.
The group continues increasing in size year on year. This has led to an increase in new leaders and subsequently the cost of training has increased. A higher amount of children and young adults has increased the level of subscriptions coming in, but also increased the cost of capitation (insurance)
We have not had to spend as much on upgrading the hall this year, but our expenditure over the last couple of years has led to a higher income from rentals. We still have ambitious plans for our community building.
As a group, we continue to upgrade a lot of equipment. This allows the group members to benefit across a range of activities (especially camping)
Gift Aid is an important source of income for the group, as it enables us to reclaim tax relief. We are always keen to hear from people who work for companies that may have access to funding for local charities or groups, and would welcome any contact from people in a position to help us.
Overall we have achieved a small profit for the financial year, whilst still continuing to give the troop great experiences.
