## **Treasurer’s Report – Year ending 31[st] December 2022**
I am very pleased to say that our bank account as the close of 2022 was £87,346, significantly up on the year-end bank balance at the end of 2021 mainly due to continued donations, fundraising and strong membership contributions. Net income for 2022 stood at £17,059 compared to £18,401 in 2021 and £15,095 in 2020.

Receipts in the year were £53,831 and payments were £36,772.
Following this AGM the accounts will been submitted to the independent auditor who is a chartered accountant and will be filed with the Charity Commission.
To give you a little understanding on how we have managed and invested our funds in the year, below is a summary of some of the key points:
- Net subscriptions remained stable in 2022 at £11,557 demonstrating the continued strength of all divisions within the scouting group. We collected £21,991 in subs and paid the scout association £10,433 of that in capitation fees.
- Donations stood at £7,306 made up of £5,000 from the last of the COVID grants from Cardiff County Council (£1,000 for Livsey Hall and £4,000 for Lisvane Hall from 2021 paid to us from North Cardiff District team), £1,000 from the Charities Trust and various small donations. – Thank you all.
- We made one gift aid claim in 2022, for small donations collected during 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 amounting to £1,499. We have already claimed 2019 and 2020 gift aid on subscriptions in February 2023 for £7,541.63 which will show in the 2023 accounts, and we will claim 2021 and 2022 gift aid on subscriptions in 2023 which will also show in the 2023 accounts.
- The programme of activities returned to pre-COVID levels with a spend of £20,159 across all sections, funded 50% by the group and 50% by members paying £12,599 during 2022. For reference 2019 spending on activates was £18,560 and 2018 was £21,266 respectively.
- Hall rental receipts were significantly up post covid at £11,967 in 2022 as the hall was for the full year, almost double the 2021 receipts.
- Lisvane Hall was officially transferred to Llanishen and Lisvane Scout group in September 2022 from the North Cardiff District team. Spending on Lisvane Hall amounted to £947 in 2022, and we received a grant donation (from 2020 Cardiff Council Covid fund) of £4,000 from North Cardiff District. We expect both income and payments to materially start in 2023 as utility costs and Treetops income start to flow through our bank account (we expect this to net a small profit).
- Fundraising profits in 2022 continued to grow and consisted of the after school cake stoll (amazing work by Hilary and Kath) and the Christmas Raffle with net proceeds of £6,915.
- The excess funds generated are being kept in the savings account and are planned to be used for the upgrade of Lisvane Scout Hall.
I want to personally thank all the scouting team, led by Hilary, for their amazing work in 2022 who continue to provide an engaging and fun environment for our children, as well as ensuring funds are raised for not only the activates for everyone, but also to ensure that Lisvane Scout Hall will be regenerated in the future.
