TRUSTEES’ REPORT
RURAL YOUTH TRUST For the year ended 31 December 2024
History, objectives and activities of the Trust
The Rural Youth Trust was established under a Trust deed dated August 1991 with the objective of awarding grant to assist in the leadership and motivation of young people in rural areas, whether through the National Federation of Young Farmers Clubs or through other avenues.
Structure, Governance and Management
Trustees are elected in accordance with the terms of the Trust. The Trust deed allows for a minimum of three and a maximum of eight trustees. The trustees met three times in the year. The induction of a new Trustee involves being made aware of a Trustee’s responsibilities, the governing document, the administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity. A new Trustee would receive copies of the previous year’s annual report and accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet “The Essential Trustee: What you need to Know”. Trustees serving in the year are shown on page one.
The Trustees annually review the risks that the charity faces. To date these have mainly related to investment management and these have been ameliorated by diversified portfolio management.
The Trustees have delegated day to day responsibility for administration of the Charity with the Treasurer.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by The Charity Commissioners on public benefit, and consider that the objectives and activities of the charity fulfil this requirement.
Procedures and policy for grant making
The Trustees meet at least twice, and up to four times a year to consider any grant applications and maintain regular electronic communication to review any feedback they have received. Nominations for grants must be in writing and on the charity’s pro forma application form. An application form is available from the correspondence address.
The Trustees always seek feedback on the actual use of grants given and the achievements made, including those to individuals. The explanations and feedback received are sufficient for monitoring the quality of the grants made.
Financial Review
The year’s results show a deficit of £13,275 (2023 – deficit of £14,473) after having paid grant payments and also grants committed, amounting to £40,174 (2023 - £34,414) before the realised gains of £11,201 (2023: gains of £695) and unrealised gains on investments of £65,277 (2023 – gains of £56,885).
Risk Review
The Trustees have considered the risks to which the Charity is exposed and have established systems for mitigating those risks. The risks are limited to investment risks. The Trustees believe that by investing its funds in Evelyn Partners which is periodically reviewed, these risks are minimised.
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)

RURAL YOUTH TRUST For the year ended 31 December 2024
Reserves Policy
The total fund for the charity was £1,295,917 at 31[st] December 2024 which is unrestricted. The Trustees have agreed a policy whereby the funds not committed or invested in investments held by the charity should be maintained at a minimum of £1,000 at the bank and/or brokers to meet immediate application.
General reserves at the year end stood at £1,295,917. The Trustees have agreed a policy whereby unrestricted funds not committed or invested in investments should be kept at a minimum in order to maximise investment returns.
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds. Most of the capital of the Trust is invested and managed by the Trust’s brokers Evelyn Partners of Birmingham. The investment brief remains to invest the fund for a mixture of security, income and some long-term capital growth.
It remains the Trustees’ intention broadly to match the investment income from the investments with the cost of grants and administration expenditure.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds. The Trustees have invested in fixed income stocks, equities and short-term sterling deposits which were managed by Evelyn Partners. The Trustees consider that the returns on these funds are satisfactory.
The Trustees met formally with a representative from Evelyn Partners twice during the year to review the performance of the funds, risks and anticipated future needs.
Achievements and Performance
Grants Awarded
The Trustees again received a large number of enquiries for assistance during the year but unfortunately a number of them were considered outside the criteria for grant aid set down for the Trust. However, grants were made in the following areas: -
NFYFC County Support - Fieldwork proposal Curly’s YFC Radnor YFC Suffolk YFC Long Benington YFC Surrey YFC Holt Countryside
Future Plans
The Trustees continue to promote the Trust and intend to provide grants in a similar way as in the recent past and encourage applications from eligible organisations.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
-
departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
-
that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
Page 5 RURAL YOUTH TRUST For the year ended 31 December 2024 Charity Number 1003944
I report to the Charity’s trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 12.
Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
The accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
