banks with no charges for saving money

Hi,
a group I am involved with have setup a social fund and its finances are separate from the main core business.  It is run by retired members and the treasurer does/will not use online banking (due mainly not being familiar with it and not understanding/relying on technology as I understand it).  he currently banks with Yorkshire bank and I was shocked to hear that it gets charges for cashing a monthly cheque and for 'maintenance' (whatever that is) amounting to over £6 a month?  Looking at Yorkshire banks business banking charges it appears they charge £6.50 per month + 30p per standing order etc and other charges which I feel are extortionate.
It only has £100 paid into it per month on a regular basis (not sure if this is by cheque or direct debit/standing order)
I'm wondering which bank would offer a better return on the small amount of savings this fund has?
Thanks
