Are There Regulations Covering The Setting Up Of Funded Social Groups?

[dance2trance]

I am setting up a social group for senior citizens. The Council has kindly offered funding of £5000. My concern is that I need correct formal accounting procedures so as to avoid corruption and mis spent funds. Does anybody know if there is advice on this out there? Many thanks.

Ask the council - they will want to know how the money was spent.
At elast they do in this neck of teh woods!

how are you planning to finance things once the 5k runs out?

Thank you.

The Council will supply information.

Future funding options will be via application to those bodies which the Charity Commission has indicated are inclined to support. In addition, liaison work will be initiated with private benefactors such as individuals and local businesses.
