I've fofeca5ted ￿ceIpts to match pawnents which Is extremely positNe durin8 this period of finanical
uncertainty. This includes investing in 2 QRMW 8azeebos to enable us to stsnd out at public events.
We receNed a very generous anonymous donation towards them. I've also factored in the fantastic
fundraising 5UPPOrt from Stu and his triathon and mwc friends, Wendy and Marco from the Crown
and Anchor, and Bobby Davro.
Forecasting a budget is always challerrging so I've called out some of my thoughts below whkh
helped me make some 'educated' predictions l assumptions:
As all costs have risen $0 have our fundfalsin8 Costs so I've budgetted
heavily for this
Special events to be £2.250 more primarily due to the purchase of 2 new
gazebos
I haven't budgetted to purthose new QRMW merchaThlise. I've also reduced
the receipts by £750 as we have limited stock and opportunities to Sell merchandise

Supporting veterans in need is core to our values so I have again budgetted
heavily for this £l,tXX). l appreciate we often support veterans in other ways rather than just
financially. but I do feel irs important to have a robust budget for this
