Can you help?

We’re looking for our next Volunteer Group Treasurer to manage the Group’s accounts and finances for a 3-year term.

The role takes on average 1-2 hours per week and uses Sage online accounting software and banking apps.

The role involves:

- Making all payments for the Group.
- Managing all the income and expenditure of the Group through its online banking systems and Sage.
- Completing end of year accounts including submission for review.
- Managing our savings accounts.
- Setting and monitoring the annual budget in conjunction with the Group Lead Volunteer and Trustees.
- Attending Board of Trustees meetings (4-5 per year)

Familiarity with online banking apps and Sage would be preferable, but full training and a thorough handover will be provided by our outgoing Treasurer.

If you’d like to know more or would like to express your interest in this role, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop us a message or email: [email protected]

Can anyone help track down a photo of the old St Thomas Church Hall on Bramford Road?

The 11th Ipswich Scout Group celebrates its 100th anniversary next month and the Group first started at St Thomas Church Hall before moving to Castle Hill. We’d like to find a photo of our first home.

It was a lovely old building, probably from the 18th century, red brick unaltered construction with a wooden floor and a stage at one end overlooking what was known as the old ballast pits between Bramford Road and Sproughton Road.

After the church had replaced it with a new church hall in the 60’s next to the church in Bramford Lane it remained for many years with various uses. Removals storage etc.
It was later demolished and replaced with the current block of flats.

If anyone can help track down a photo, it would help fill a hole in our history.

Thanks for any help!

Now that our new fencing and railings are all complete, this wall really stands out.
We’d love a mural designed by our young members painted on the wall to celebrate our Centenary year!
Does anyone have any ideas or contacts for getting this done? Perhaps you know someone creative or a mural or graffiti artist? Please message us with any suggestions. Thank you!
