Fiiilds
Unrestricted
Funds are general funds which can be used at the discretion
ofthe trustees
for
any purpose which is within the objectives
ofthe charity.
Designated
funds are funds set aside by a decision ofthe trustees
out of
unrestricted
general funds for specific
purposes or projects.
Restricted funds represent
donations
received for a specific object, project or purpose. The funds
may be expended
only
for the specific object, project or purpose for which they were given.
Any
balance
remaining
unspent at the end ofa
financial year is required to be carried forward as a balance on that fund. It is not the normal practice of the trustees to
invest separalely
for each restricted fund. Any mterest generated
by holding these funds is very small
and no allocation of
mterest received is made to restdicted
funds.
