      My employer offers a basic savings account for charities, though not a
current account.

I'm trying to remember what we recommended at work - I think the Co-op
bank
has a charity bank account (but I can't find it on their web site). The
former girobank (now alliance & leicester commercial) has something too:

This is really a matter for the Treasurer/Finance Director/whatever
their
title is, but given previous discussion on the list, I thought you might
find this (which I found out about today) of use:
http://www.bba.org.uk/bba/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=142&a=225
The one thing missing is the monthly charge rates (if any), but it gives
a
fair idea of what's on the marketplace. Charities and not-for-profit
groups
with turnover under £100K a year can often get free banking.
As I said before, branch location/phgone/online services of best use to
the
treasurer, services and price are likely to be the three key criteria -
and
the trustees will need to weigh up services offered versus cost. If
you're
likely to want (the hassle of) direct debits, and/or have lots of cash
donations, the Bank of Scotland one doesn't look too bad, especially
with
the Halifax network for the deposit of cheques, money etc.
Hope that helps
Scott
