Hi SSAGO! I'm Lara, your Treasurer for 2025-2026!

I started Brownies when I was 7 and haven't left Girlguiding - I'm currently a leader at Brownies and Rangers back home, as well as a Peer Educator and general floating adult who can help at meetings when needed. I joined SAGGY in my first year and have had the best time, especially going to various rallies and balls and organising freshers' weekends. I've been club treasurer for SAGGY and I was treasurer for Rally through Time so I'm looking forward to using even more spreadsheets. I’ve made fantastic friends through SSAGO and learnt so much from them all, and I hope that I can pass this on to future SSAGOers as your National Treasurer! Come and say hi if you see me at a national event (and tell me and Money Bunny your favourite coin!).

Treasurer

October 2025

Report

  • Freshers' events: It's been exciting to see/hear about all the events happening with new members, and I've been busy providing advice plus the use of our SSAGO event bank accounts.
  • Insurance: SSAGO are now insured for another year, and I am in the process of sorting the events insurance for our national events.
  • National budget: I have been updating the national budget for 2025-2026 which should be finalised soon!
  • General treasuring: SSAGO still has money! Also Money Bunny should have her SSAGO necker by Space Rally...

Aims

  • Development fund: start promoting the dev fund to clubs as it's there to be used by our SSAGO members!
  • Club treasurers: I want to start sending monthly 'Treasurer Times' emails to committees with the intent to make being a club treasurer something fun and easy to do.
  • Bank accounts: hopefully we can get Lloyds to update the account named 'Whitan' to 'Witan' without too much fuss.

June 2025

Report

  • Money: SSAGO still has money!
  • Document sorting: I've been attempting to find where everything I need as treasurer is in the exec google drive, and organising it so that everything makes sense in my head.

Aims

  • Development fund: over the summer, I want to sort out a spreadsheet to track the status of dev fund bids.
  • Projects: arrange more regular meetings with the projects I am the team pink lead for.
  • Club treasurers: now that new committees have been formed, I want to connect club treasurers with each other.

March 2025

Report

  • Getting started: attending meetings and getting used to the way everything works in Team Pink, with the aim to be ready to begin my role fully after Goose Ball!

Aims

  • Money is fun: I will be a visible presence for all things accounting! Treasurer is usually the role that committees struggle to fill so I want to help everyone be confident with money and show people that it’s a fun position :)
  • Power of the group chat: putting treasurers in touch with each other to share woes, frustrations, anger at banking, whatever - and I will do my best to help!
  • Development fund: remind club treasurers that they can apply for monetary help if needed, and support them to do so.
