5[th] Worcester Sea Scouts Financial Statements And Treasurer’s Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2021
Registered Charity No. 525170
~~5~~ [th] Worcester Sea Scouts
’ – Treasurer s Report Year Ended 31st March 2021
Summary
Income was lower than previous years, due to COVID and not being able to meet face to face. The leaders, however, have done a sterling job running a successful program of weekly events online, maintaining a fantastic level of consistency in the groups offering.
Expenditure as a result was also lower as face-to-face events and camps could not be run.
The year-end reserves total £45,663.46 with this all being held in bank deposits. £23,820.14 (2020; £23,813.93) of the total is in respect of restricted funds which can only be expended on specific purposes. The balance of £21,843.32 (2020; £13,108.70) are the group’s own funds which are above our reserve target of £5,000 and the improvement from last year has largely been secured through the receipt of over £11,000 in the year though COVID grants.
Income
Subscription income decreased due to the intake dropping as a result of COVID along with the fundraising income which also fell significantly as a result. We did however have a slight increase in property income during the summer months in between lockdown’s.
Expenditure
We continue to run a very tight ship so as to ensure that we maximise the benefit that we achieve from our expenditure to best serve the interests of our young people. We avoid significant costs through the volunteering of the Section Leaders and assistants, members of the Executive Committee and others. Quite simply without these contributions we would not be able to run such a large operation without significant increases in subscription charges. The Group is extremely grateful to all those who give their time, energy and skills so freely for the benefit of Scouting and our young people.
Conclusion
These accounts are the 2nd that I have prepared and presented. The group navigated the unprecedented COVID situation exceptionally. The leaders put together an engaging program of online sessions and events during the lockdowns

5[th] Worcester Sea Scouts Notes To The Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2021
1. Basis of Preparation
These accounts are prepared, as is required for a charity of our size, on a cash receipts and payments basis. Income is normally received in advance of expenditure and where this crosses a year-end date this causes surpluses and deficits to arise. This is particularly relevant to income and expenditure for events.
2. Subscriptions
Monthly subscriptions charges remained at £18 per member.
