APPENDIX 8: PROJECTED BUDGET
Given the continuing variables on which decisions have yet to be taken - such as location,
precise staffing levels and salary scales - it is not possible to fully detail a budget at this point.
The following is a preliminary costing for the purposes of indicating the level of funding required.
This estimate is for total costs i.e. including launch costs and running costs, and assuming the
centre will bear full costs of premises, furniture, computer equipment etc, which may not necessarily
be the case. In practical terms, full salary costs will probably not be incurred until the third year,
depending upon how the recruitment of staff progresses.
