School Council Event Budget Form

This form will help students who are planning an even to create a budget to see whether it will make or lose money.

Another copy of the form can be used to record what is actually spent and made, giving an overall profit.

This works well with the action planning forms and guides.

If you want to suggest to your school that you could run an event, use this form and the SMART Matrix and you’ll be able to come up with a really good plan.
