Ways of working (2) Bank a/cs • Additional signatories to enable a/cs to continue to be maintained if people move on or group merges etc Annual Returns • We have made a number of changes to make them much simpler and easier to complete
Local Grants A lot of feedback about the current process, particularly that it needs simplification. We are overhauling the process, and will take this to the Trustees for approval before the end of 2015. We want to ensure: • The process is simple and easy to understand • The process is efficient and easy to apply • Groups maintain control over how funds raised locally are deployed • We are compliant with Charity Commission regulations • We maintain properly managed reserves We will let all Groups know as soon as we have agreement to the new process
