Course Content

Community spaces' budgets are increasingly under pressure from rising costs and falling income. For some, footfall still hasn't gone back to pre-covid levels and fuel prices in particular have strained budgets. Trustees are increasingly nervous about ensuring that budgets balance and enough money can be put aside for long-term maintenance.

This presentation pulls together ideas for helping to make the budget balance, including:

  • Keeping track of things
  • Increasing income and decreasing expenditure - five practical tips
  • When to panic - or not


The talks are accompanied by a wealth of downloadable information and templates.
