Treasurers Report 2024-25
We have seen an increase in revenue from our previous year. This is due to an increase in membership via subscription fees, and a small increase in donations.
We continue to receive income from private parties and different community groups.
The troop has continued to increase the quality of the hall and equipment, which allows group members to benefit from ongoing activities and camping.
We have also purchased a mini van. This will help reduce future costs in us having to hire one for future group events, but can also increase future income if we rent it out to other groups.
Improvements to the hall increases the likelihood of people wishing to rent it out in the future.
Capitation fees (insurance) is continued to be met by external revenue
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.
