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:

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
