Initial setup questions for a small non-profit membership startup (UK)

[Jill Terry]

It's simple, you don't spend the money - it's not yours to spend!!  You 
do it by good budgeting, just like anybody should with their own 
finances, and you don't touch the money until it is released from 
liability.

One thing of the first things I did when I became Treasurer was to set 
up a savings account and make sure that the minimum amount in there 
always covers the liabilities.
