Quarterly reports published so far this year

How the money is handled

  1. 01

    It is counted by two people

    Never one. Both sign the sheet, and neither of them is on staff.

  2. 02

    It is banked within a day

    Nothing sleeps in the building. The bank slip is attached to the count sheet.

  3. 03

    It is spent against a budget

    The budget is set once a year by the members and any payment over 500,000 shillings needs three signatures.

  4. 04

    It is published

    Every quarter, in full, on this site. An outside firm audits it once a year.

Before you give

Is there a minimum?

No, and nobody is told what anyone gave. The count sheet records totals, not names, unless you ask for a receipt.

Can I give to one programme only?

Yes. Say which one and it goes there in full. That is tracked separately in the quarterly report.

Can I stop?

At any time, with no conversation about it. Standing arrangements are cancelled the day you ask.
