Scouts 124th Nottingham Scout Group Trustees, Annual Report for the Year Ending 31 March 2025 FTnancial Review The Group received a total income of £46,075.19 The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient funds to continue the charitable activities of the group for one year should income and fund-raising activities fall short. The Group held General Fund reserves of £30,OIXI at the end of the financial year and we think this remains important due to uncertainty on general costs, energy prices and other inflaiionary rises. Over the next 2-5 years we have identifted a number of costs around securing the future lease and for capital improvements to the building. The Executive Group's view is this is suitable long-term investment for the 124th future and we have made the decision to increase this fund by £4,240 in the year to carry £19,240 in designated reserve funds to cover these costs. The Group also has increased the designated reserve fund for the purpose of obtaining a new minibus (once it is deemed necessary to do sol by £2.000 to £23,500. The Group has continued to hold the John Spence restricted fund 'tO SUPPOrt international travel opportunitiesfor those young people, needingfinancial support in order to undertake the experiences this trovel bring5'. The GroLtp adopts a low risk strategy to the investment of its funds and hence all funds are held in cash using only banks or building societies,. this year has seen the management of funds across short term140 days) and long term1200 days) fixed term savings (for designated and restricted funds) and instant access savings to maximise the interest on thi5 cash. It remains the Group's aim to keep subscriptions at the current level, where possible, to help support our families and deliver value. Our subs are in the lower range of loca I scout groups, a nd we will aim to keep this level until our next review in March 2026. It is G roup policy that any identified surplus is used to subsidise core scouting activities, such as camps and section activities. The Trustees declare that they have approved the report above.
