WREXHAM DISTRICT SCOUTS
TRUSTEE REPORT 2024/25
In the financial year from April 2024 to March 2025 costs have continued to rise.
One of our main tasks during this time has been to try to control these costs.
Some costs are beyond our control such as Utilities ( gas, electric and water) to which we have put some heating controls in place while also attempting to monitor the usage.
Rents from our users have increased and a tighter control of any other outgoings has been set up.
We also have set up a District Finance team to look at going forward
