Governance & Transparency

Our community apiary is run by volunteers from Ainsdale Allotment Society. We’re committed to spending grant funding responsibly and maintaining full transparency.

Financial controls

• Spending must be agreed by at least two committee members before any purchase.
• Where possible, we pay suppliers directly by card or bank transfer. Cash withdrawals are limited to £100 and require receipts.
• We keep an asset register for all hive equipment and tools.
• We retain invoices, receipts and statements for seven years.

Decision‑making

• The apiary working group meets monthly to review progress.
• Major changes to the project are approved by the allotment society committee.
