SESSION 2: Introduction to the SU & Warwick Sport

Zoë Buckland, Sports Officer

Warwick Sport is a joint partnership between the SU and the University’s department of PE and Sport.

ALL fees go into a budget which is spent ONLY on Sport and related activities. The SU provides resources in student activities, and also the Sports Officer – however, none of these are paid for by Warwick Sport memberships or fees.

Why do I need to know about the SU and Warwick Sport?

• 10,300 students members of Warwick Sport

• 6,200 students involved in 70 sports clubs

• £65,000 grant from the University• £612,600 costs to cover each year

o From staffing costs, insurance, BUCS, club grants, professional services, facilities maintenance, etc.

Warwick Sport in 2013

• 6,200 students involved in 70 sports clubs• 11,250 students involved in 250+ societies• 250 student staff working across our 6 F&B

outlets• 760 SSLC reps & 9 faculty reps • 55 student councillors including 4 liberation

officers• £150,000 of student house deposits won

back by our Advice Centre in 2013• £7m turnover 12/13

Warwick SU in 2013

• Rely on £2m/year from the University to run everything we do

• £1,200/day rent – ouch!

• Last year spent £2.792m on student activities, (societies and sports clubs), the advice centre and on representation.

• In short, we don’t have a lot of money!

Tricky Finances

• We are one of the largest Students’ Unions in the country, yet have one of the smallest staff teams!

• Ridiculous/unsustainable right? Right.

• Things take a little longer to process and organise then we all might hope, but it’s better than the alternative… o … cutting Sports Clubs and Societies and

giving up our Student Representation.

Marketing

• Can’t withdraw money from your account without filling in a form.

• The 2 most common forms:o Money Requests (used to withdraw money

or pay for goods and services); ando Sales Invoice Requisitions (used to raise

invoices, typically to get sponsors to deposit money into your account).

• All forms can be found at www.warwicksu.com/execresources/forms

Finance

Typical timeframes that you can expect for payment after filling in forms:

• Money Requests:o BACS payments take 3-4 working dayso Cash takes 1-2 working days (collected from Finance

Office)o Cheques take 1-2 working days

• Sales Invoices:o Money deposited into your account within 3-4

working days (except if you are sponsored by Kelseys!).

Finance – how long do payments take?

To deposit money into your account:• Go to the Finance Office (2nd Floor of SUHQ

on the RHS) and hand the cash to Paula on the front desk.

• Make sure your cash is counted (and bagged where depositing coins).

• You will be handed a receipt – keep this safe!

• The money will then be deposited into your account on the next working day.

Finance – how long do deposits take?

• The usual process for paying for goods is that an exec member will pay for the items upfront and then reimburse themselves from the club funds via a Money Request form.

• This is fine (although double-check you can be reimbursed for the goods you want to purchase if they total more than £100).

• If you don’t want to/can’t individually pay for the items first (and then reimburse yourself), we have a Union credit card that can be used to pay for the goods/services directly instead. This requires a Money Request form to be used.

Finance – how do I pay for things using

club money?

Things which might make the process take longer:

o You need 2 exec signatures on the formso All forms exceeding £100 need the Sports

Officer’s signatureo Finance Office opening hours are 10am –

3pm weekdayso Individuals who require payment (DJs/guest

speakers etc.) need to be registered with HMRC

o Get the correct codes for the forms! o Charity Law! (we’re coming to this later)

Finance – Top Tips
