Dear National Delegates, dear Presidents, dear Colleagues,

We write to update you on the financial situation of EFORT, which we had identified as perilous at last year’s General Assembly, particularly since the financial model on which we are founded produces almost all income from a single event. As you will be aware, the Congress had to be cancelled for two consecutive years during the Covid pandemic, depleting our reserves.

A budget had been set for this year anticipating lean times through the winter. But unfortunately the effect of inflation and hugely increased energy costs meant that the net result from the Vienna 2023 congress was substantially diminished, forcing us to take difficult decisions.

Our priority is to put on a successful congress this year, but to achieve this we have had to make structural changes to the organisation and review the services we can offer to you, the O&T Community, in the short term:
 Head Office staff have been reduced by 30% (phase I)
 We will be moving into smaller premises
 Some offerings we fund cannot stop and start, so the EBOT exam and EFORT open reviews,
