Replacement investments were purchased using funds donated under the Gift Aid Scheme by the present trustees who are the daughter and sons of Mrs P G Keeling and by the Hambledon Settlement, Isle of Man, of which they are beneficiaries. During the year to 5 April 2024 the portfolio of quoted investments was liquidated and, at the year end, the funds were held in accounts with SG Kleinwort Hambros.
