After recently proving my complete ignorance in all matters money can someone lend a hand regarding savings accounts...
What's the best way to make money from your money that is in a savings account. It has to be in a savings account as it's a charity.
Cheers and thanks etc.

I think bonds would be a good bet, unfortunately you wont be able to get at the money quickly

How much money and how long can you invest it over? Less than £25k your looking at 3% is (unless you can jump on the back of someone else's facilities) and these come from simple fixed term savings accounts. Over £25k you can get far better rates so long as you don't need the money for a year - 18 months. Over £175k you can play the inter bank lending/ overnight money markets and if done correctly you can get a double bubble where you get paid normal deposit account interest along with the overnight rate. In the last 18 months these rates have varied between just under 4% and just below 1% so forecasting the return is impossible but you'll be getting more than 3%.
Over this there's the international bonds market which will get you 6% & 7% for fixed term investments although those that invested in Iceland will remind you the capital is at risk if a country goes bankrupt

How much can you spare and over how long do you want to play?

National Savings were offering a bond that paid inflation + 1% but over 5 years and max investment was a miserly £15000.

Like I say it's for a charity so I believe they have limitations on where the momey can be stored. As far as I've been told it can only be ion a savings account. I will investigate in further detail....

Take the money and become a short term loan provider.
