The Trustees consider the finances of the Club to be satisfactory. The Club operates three main Bank Accounts. The Activities Account is the main account for the receipts from fund-raising Activities and the payment of directly related expenses. The Charity Account is used to receive direct donations and transfers of surpluses arising in the Activities Account from time to time. The Charity Account is used solely to fund Charitable Donations being made - as authorised by the Club Members in general meeting. The Administration Account is used for the receipt of Membership Subscriptions and payment of Expenses associated with the running of the Club itself. The use of the separate Club Administration Account means that all monies raised through Activities can be used directly for the good causes the Club wishes to support. ## **Investment Powers and Reserves Policy** The Club has power to leave any monies on Deposit in a Bank Account which the Trustees consider it appropriate so to deposit. The Club will carry forward the existing surpluses into the 2023-2024 Financial Year. ## **The Club's performance during the year** The Club received regular undesignated donations from it's supporters.
