General Parish Funds
Where a parish wishes to withdraw ordinary parish funds held in AMIF, the Parish should contact the Registrar.
The request should ordinarily be made by providing a copy of relevant Parish Council minutes signed by at least two churchwardens (or by the incumbent and one churchwarden) which includes:
- amount requested
- purpose of withdrawal
- Parish Council approval
Trust or Restricted Funds
Additional requirements apply where funds are held subject to a trust, bequest, donor-imposed restriction. Sections 8.2 and 8.5 of the Parishes Ordinance 2023 require that these funds only be applied for the purpose for which they were originally received. Any request for withdrawal must demonstrate compliance with those purposes. In addition to a signed copy of the relevant Parish Council minutes, the following documentation must be provided:
- completed Trust Withdrawal Form.
- supporting information explaining the proposed use of funds.
