BBOWT continues to hold a healthy financial position. Over the year £ceoidsnfurssocpemaertvniaeottvniooenwrnyooaurnkrd
good financial management enabled us to control and slightly reduce
our overall expenditure while income from membership, donations and
legacies all increased.

The income for 2016/17 includes the recognition of a one-off donation (of £447k) relating to the value
of assets leased to BBOWT on the Woolley Firs Estate. Looking ahead there are significant uncertainties,
including the impact of Brexit on agri-environment funding (which currently comes via the EU) and
changing regulation for charitable fundraising. We will adopt a cautious approach to managing our
finances giving room to invest in new activities. This means we will be in the best place to realise the
ambition of our Strategic Plan for 2016–2021.
