About this document
Most problems with money in small groups come from too much trust in one person, cash that is not counted or banked, and records that are not kept. These controls protect the group’s money and the volunteers who handle it. They are also what funders, banks and independent examiners expect to see.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
