risks lo which they believe the District is exposed, these
have been reviewed and systems have been established to
mitigate against them. The main areas of concgrn that have

equipment from neighbouring organisalions such as the
church. community centre and other Scout Groups. The

Financial Review
8rlef sta18ment of the charity's poli¢y on
serves
Reserv88 Pollcy
The dislricls's policy on r6seNes is to hold sufficient
resources to continue the charitable activities of the group
8hould In¢ome fall short. The District Exe¢utive Committee
conslders that the group should hold a sum equivalent lo 6
months running costs, following the move to the new
bulldlng this is a Sum GirGa £18.000.
The Group held reseNes of approximately £78,000 at year
end. This is above the level required for operating expenses.
However this can be explained by the uncertainties of the
costs of fittlng out and moving into the new building in
December 2023 and the laok of clarity of the opperaling
costs.

Investrnent Pollcy
The Group does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer

objectives of the charity.,
The District Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank
balances and the inte￿81 rates received lo ensure the group
obtains maximum value and income from its banking
arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an
account that requires a period of notice before funds may be
withdrawn, before doing so the district Executive considers
the cash flow requirements.

Slgnificant features..
1. Income contained the following notable items..
AII 2024 capilalion payments were included in this a¢¢ounting period. The full Capitatlon
payment, less the prompt payment discount, was made to County. The re￿Ipt oflhe
delayed 2023 payment of £3,137.80 from 181 Kenilworth15 included in these accounts.
b. Scout & Guidé Centre, previously Castle Farm, rent invoices for the first half of 22123 were
issued and the payments are included in these accounts.
c. Rent for the use of Castle 6th Form whilst Castle Farm was rebuilt was fully paid up during
the 23124 year, no invoice has been to date rèceived from Kenilworth School, £8,160.
d. A sum of £20,000 was received from WDC to cover most of the costs ofthe move to the
new building.
e, A total of£4,800 was r6ceived as donations towards equipment for the S&GC.
f, The KEGS account was closed, and the balance moved Into the di8trict a¢counls as a cost
centre
2. Expenditure contalns the following significant Items..
a. Costs of £20,584.33 were incurred associated with the new S&GC the majority of these
were covered by WDC.
b. There are no utility costs for the S&GC included except for the broadband contracl.
c. Jamboree support payments of £900 were made in the year.
3. Whilst the face of th8 accounts suggests the district is doing very well It is necessary lo appreGiate
that the accounts do not Contain the following..
a. Running costs for the first three months in the S&GC Heat, Electricity, Water, Rates &
Insurance, this will probably exceed £6,QOO', The outstanding balance due to Kenilworth
School, £9,000., The grant towards the AV system is included but not yet spent, £4,000.
The first half years rent however is included, £5,000.
b. A total of £24,000, hen￿ it can be seen that there ar8 no grounds for feeling overly
comfortable
4. Looking forward the major challenges are the operating costs for the new building. For a variety of
reasons to do with the complexities of it being a shared building we are only just getting our hands
on representative running Gosts. We are however close lo having functional budget reportlng.
5. The accounting process for 24125 will be simpler and our reserves remain adequate.
