FINANCIAL REVIEW
Flnancial posltlon
The financial p051tion of the BSS remains very secure. Although outgoings have exceeded income durinE this financial
vear. this has been anticipated. Principally. the BSS is funded by a biennial conference. with the next scheduled for
Novernber 202S. Plans for that conference already indicate a possible profit of around £40,000, which will replenish
some expenditure for the next two-year period (until the BSS Conference 20271. Outgoings have been entirely
planned. with principal costs covering administrative support and salarie5. Since 2023, the BSS has employed a
Translational Fellow. That post ended as a 1.0 FTE in June 2025. and has continued as a .5 FTE, which is financially
viable for the foreseeable future.
Principal funding sources
The Charity is principally funded by the attendance at the Annual conference and meetings. plus membership fees. In
2023 a grant was awarded by Health Education England las was) to 5UPPOrt the development and delivery of
educational materials and activities. Those activities are ongoing. although the funding period has ended.
Reserves pollcy
The Trustees monitor the level of reserves to ensure it is sufficient to cover the overheads for a minimum period of 3
months. A dedicated bank account is in operation solely for the purpose of holding these reserves.
At the year end, free and unrestricted reserve5 were £189,48312024: £207,624). Total resources expended in the year
ended 3st March 2025 totalled £96,010, which apportioned over 3 months indicate estimated expenditure of £24.000
for a 3-month period. Therefore, free and unrestricted rese￿eS are more than sufficient to meet the requirements of
the reserves policy.
FUTURE PLANS
The BSS has increased Its membershlp over this reported period and membership numbers continue to increase,
Furthermore. the BSS is set to incorporate the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine, transferring approximately 100
members over to the 8SS once that proce55 is complete (At the time of writin& this process has been completed}.The
incorporation of the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine is likely to involve the carry-over of approximatelv
£40.000, which can be used in part to integrate and update the BSDSM and 8SS website5, and for designated BSDSM
activities such as ongoing annual members day events.
Funds may a150 be used to SUPPOrt ongoing mapping of sleep professionals and relevant services across the UK. This
work will commence in the next year.
