  4. Budget Principles Student Council April 2014: SU is mandated to publish budget allocations on the SU website, with reasons for decisions SocsFed funding is normally for specific projects or equipment rather than the day-to-day functioning of the society Budget decisions are based on a analysis of key data eg number of members, current funds, sponsorship, future plans… 2015-16 submissions totalled £180k; we had £53k to distribute No submission from society = no SocsFed award

  5. Budgeting Basics Review of 2015-16 • Is membership stable / increasing / decreasing? • What activities have you been involved in? • What has worked well – and what hasn’t? • Is your record-keeping adequate for your needs? • Have you had any cashflow issues? Plans for 2016-17… • Work with your Exec and members to agree a plan
