Statement explaining Para 1.22 Where money has been raised for
the policy for holding a specific purpose, for example
reserves stating why ‘at our gate’ events for Poppy
they are held Day Appeal and MacMillan, it is
kept in a restricted reserve
account for that purpose.
Otherwise, money raised is kept
