Subs for the Summer term are now due

How to Pay

We can now accept direct transfers to our account, so if you have access to electronic banking you can transfer your subs directly from your bank account to ours using the following details:

Account Number: 61742191
Sort Code: 40-47-09
Reference:  Your child’s name

If you can’t fit the whole name in the reference, please send an email to subscriptions@1finch.org.uk  with the subject “SUBS”, telling me the date & amount of the payment and who it was for.

Of course, if you prefer, you can still post your payment in the Black Box in the headquarters entrance hall as before. Cheques are preferred and should be made payable to 1st Finchampstead Scout Group.   Please attach a subs form or write your child’s name and group on the reverse of the cheque.  Subs forms are available on the web site here and on the notice board of the entrance hall.

Subs rates

Section

Amount

Beavers

£30

Cubs

£35

Scouts

£40

Note: For families with 3 children in the group the youngest child’s subscription is free.

If you are a UK tax payer and have not already registered for Gift Aid please do so.  It does not cost you anything and you only need to fill in a simple form once for us to be able to reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue for all the subscriptions you pay for all your children over the entire time they are part of our Scout Group.  There is no need to fill in a new form each year.  

The government allows us to continue to reclaim 28p of tax on every £1 you give up to 2011, despite the lower rate of basic rate tax which applies from 6 April 2008 (20% instead of 22%).  Also, if you pay income tax at the higher rate, you can claim back additional tax relief by including your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return.

Gift aid forms are available on the web site here and on the notice board of the entrance hall at FinchBase.

Scouting is an experience that all youngsters should be able to enjoy and so if the subscription presents a financial problem please speak, in confidence, to your section leader or myself so that we can help.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Carole Williams

Subscription secretary, 1st Finchampstead Scout Group
