Applying for District Funds

I'm pleased to let you know that we are able to receive requests for funds again. However, the process will be slightly different, so I wanted to update you with a clear plan.

- I have confirmed that you DO NOT have to pay this money back to District. This is what we had originally agreed and what we told you at our first meeting. Hopefully this is reassuring to you all!

- We have closed the google form, and instead would like you to email your requests to us. Please do not reply to this email directly. To request funds, please email international@southamptoncityscouts.org.uk with your request and a receipt for the items bought. We cannot pay any money out that we do not have a receipt for. Please also provide us with the bank details for the person who bought the items, so that we can transfer the money. This can be personal details as we are simply reimbursing up front costs. Rozy and I will approve these requests before forwarding your details and receipts on to the District Team who can make the payments.

- Money raised that has gone onto the spreadsheet (see our email sent in mid June) will be transferred directly to your County WSJ / P23 accounts by the District team, in line with the event payment schedule. You therefore do not need to ask for money to be transferred early as it will automatically be transferred in time for the next payment.

Hopefully this clears up any outstanding confusion. As always, please feel free to email us on international@southamptoncityscouts.org.uk with any queries.
