We are sorry to have to inform you that this years Scout Post has had to be cancelled. This is a result of us not having enough Groups to cover the whole of the Rhondda Valleys. The Scout Group in Treorchy did not restart afgter the pandemic and the local Guiides who have helped us for a number of years are unable to support us this year. This has left us with no Groups to sort and deliver cards from Gelli right up to Blaencwm and Blaenrhondda.

We will be trying our best to make sure that we have new arrangements in place for next year and if anyone would like to volunteer please free to contact us via rich.flowerdew@trealawscouts.org.uk or John on 07976 623 950

The exisiting Scout Groups in the Rhondda are looking to recruit new volunteers and if we can interest you in joining us and helping us to develop “Skills for Life” for our young people we would be more than interested in hearing from you via the above contact details.

Gift Aid

Up until the 5th April 2000 the only way of claiming back tax on membership subscriptions was through Deed of Covenant. Unfortunately this was not always successful within Scout Groups, as parents were often reluctant to sign a legal document which theoretically committed them to making payments for a minimum four-year period.

Now as part of the Government’s “Getting Britain Giving” campaign, major changes have been made to the Gift Aid scheme which allows tax to be reclaimed on any qualifying donation to charity, regardless of whether it is regular or one off.

The new system is much simpler to operate and is more flexible. The parent no longer has to make a legal commitment and now need only provide the Group with a Gift Aid declaration.

In simple terms for every £1 paid to the Group 28p can be reclaimed by the Group. A factsheet is available from the Info Centre on 0845 300 1818 or download from ScoutBase.
