Organising Events
Budget
Work out an accurate budget as soon as possible and always work on the basis of minimum income and maximum expenditure.
Things to consider when budgeting:
- artwork, e.g. posters, tickets
- printing
- postage
- hire costs of venue
- refreshments
- entertainment, e.g. live music
- equipment, e.g. microphone/ public address system
- sponsorship
- ticket sales
- brochure/programme sales
- raffle ticket sales
- 10% contingency
Wherever possible, try and obtain as much as possible for nothing or at a reduced charity rate.
