Annual Budgeting

Each year, all student groups must complete an annual budget for the next academic year.  This helps you think about the progress of your CSP, what activities you envisage doing in the following year, and how you will develop or change.  Writing an annual budget demonstrates that your CSP is planning and managing finances well and can be used as evidence of this when applying for other sources of income.  Annual budgets also aid the next committee as guidelines for their expenditure.

Alongside budgeting, the Union provides grant funding. An annual budget is a requirement to be eligible for grant funding.
