Business Expenses
The employees of the Connection Hub will need to spend the money to make sure to spend money with sustainability in mind. Investing in equipment that is good quality, that can be reused, and that benefits the biggest number of people. We have startup capital from the backers of Blagrave Trust and the sole goal of investing that capital into making a sustainable organisation that can create the biggest impact for the most significant amount of people. When dealing with the expenses, the employees and the management of the Connection Hub must ask themselves the following questions. 

What's the risk-reward ratio for investing in a particular resource?
Is this equipment or a resource that can be reused?
If the resource can't be reused, is this for the longevity of the Connection Hub or for increased social impact for the biggest number of people? 
Have you adequately budgeted it to ensure that the business's finances will not go into the red? 
Is everything you are considering buying geared toward maximising Connection Hub Stability and social impact for the neurodiverse community?

The Categories of Expensdure within the Connection Hub are as follows.  Online Community Hosting, Event Equipment, Wages, Community Investment, Long Term Financial Investment. For the connection hub, we need to consider games consoles, board games, empowerment-based events, staff wages, staff training and overall investment in the staff and the impact.
