Turf Annual Review 2024: Budget Drafting for 2025

Join the Turf team as, following our review discussions, we begin to draft what we want to do into budgets for 2025-26.

Join the Turf team as, following our review discussions, we begin to draft what we want to do into budgets for 2025-26. Is what we want to do achievable with the resources we have?

This could be a good session for you if you’re interested in budgeting and financial management of an arts organisation.

WHAT IS TURF’S ANNUAL REVIEW?

Turf’s annual review is a yearly 3-day process where the team and trustees get together to reflect, workshop and plan the year ahead – from budgets to programming – where all are welcome to sit in.

We hold this as an open process not just for transparency, but so others can learn about the behind-the-scenes processes of running an arts organisation and charity.
