It is our job to make sure that the money is spent carefully and for the purposes for which it was given. The ESNEFT Charity holds designated charitable funds for many of the services in the hospital as well as appeal funds. They have a duty to maximise the value it gets from public donation, but without exposure to undue levels of risk.
