Annual Accounts

BBOWT continues to hold a healthy financial position. Over the year prudent financial management
and deliberate use of our reserves enabled us to successfully expand our charitable activity and
invest in a range of new initiatives. Our 2015/16 accounts show a planned increase of 11% in
expenditure and a planned revenue deficit of £488,000 including funds set aside to meet pension
commitments. Looking ahead there are significant uncertainties, including the impact of Brexit and
changing regulation for charitable fundraising. We will adopt a cautious approach to managing our
finances so we are in the best possible place to realise the ambition of our new Strategic Plan.
