The financial activities of our BHS volunteers and volunteer committees are governed by the Financial Regulations, a document completed with the BHS Financial Committee and Trustees. These regulations describe the rules for how BHS funds must be kept, tracked and used and must be read and followed by all BHS Treasurers, if relevant Treasurers can read the Regulations to the committee to ensure everyone understands the rules and expectations around charitable funds.
