The group’s income and expenditure is very small and consequently

does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-term investments such as stock and shares. The group has therefore adopted a low-risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in a Lloyds Bank Treasurer's Account with 2 signatories required for all payments.
