Hollebon: Scout finance is not difficult
Andy Hollebon, Chair of the Trustee Board at Isle of Wight Scouts, said,
“Like all charities our Trustees have a responsibility to ensure that our finances are well managed.
“We’re seeking individuals who have a bit of spare time and are keen to support Scouting to help young people across the Island develop and progress towards taking their place as citizens in our society.
“Scout finance is not difficult, but it does help if you can use a calculator and a run a spreadsheet!”
