Managing Money

It can really help your group to run smoothly if the financial side of things is well managed and carefully looked after. It is your whole group’s responsibility to do this – it’s important not to just leave it up to just one person.

This section provides information to help your group to take shared responsibility for the finances. It outlines why it is important to be well organised about keeping track of your group’s money, and suggests strategies to help you do this. It also contains information about how to budget and plan for the future.

All Resource Centre information is available for free because we know small community groups have small budgets. However, we are a small charity, so if you are in a position to make a donation, it will help us to keep running this service into the future.
