Public Benefit
The Trustees have ensured that the funds have been used in line with the objects of the charity. In reaching this opinion, they have had proper : regard to the Public Benefit Guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
Constitution and Objects

The scholarship grant making policy of the
The charity has been established to provide support for Harper Adams Adams University by way way of raising scholarship funding for the University’s students and providing funds for capital developments. The scholarship grant making policy of the charity is to provide scholarships to individual students via the University against criteria established by the University. Most students are funded for one year in the first instance, although they may apply for further support in later years of their programme of education. Most scholarships are currently on average around £2,500 per annum. The charity requires a report from the University on the allocation of funds and the requirements for the future funding of the University’s students.
The Trustees monitor the performance of the Trust by assessing a number of factors including the value of scholarships awarded each year, the successful number of returning or repeating scholarship awards available and the number students supported over the period. By undertaking these activities; the Trust looks to further advance not only the University from a capital funding perspective but also the individual scholars by providing opportunities that may not have been available initially to further compliment their course, associated with the management and use of rural land or
The Trustees confirm that during 2021/22, scholarships have been awarded to students in accordance with the grant making policy.

.
The capital project grant making policy of the charity is set against specific projects identified by the university that require funding support from the charity. Regular progress reports on fundraising for these projects are received by the Trustees.
The principal risks and uncertainties faced are around the ability to continue to award scholarships to students, should there be a decline in company and individual donors. Through ongoing discussions and maintaining strong relationships with these entities and individuals the trust is confident in the ability to continue with its objectives.
Financial Review and Investment Policy
The charity has received a number of restricted and unrestricted donations during the course of the last year, as set out in the charity's financial statements.
The trust will only distribute via scholarships and awards what it can afford to do so, thus ensuring any risks are appropriately considered.
The restricted donations received during the year have been made for a mixture of the University’s scholarship programme, the Laboratories Extension project and a new glasshouse facility for the Harper Adams University Crops department.
Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement
Under charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements for each financial year which showa true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period.
The charity has no restrictions on its powers to invest. A formal investment strategy has not been developed and the charity’s funds are held partly in an investment account with the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) and partly with the charity's bankers at preferential rates of interest.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
The Trustees will continue to take a prudent e make judgments and accounting view of market prospects for the charity’s funds estimates that are reasonable and in the medium term, in accordance with the risk prudent; : profile adopted by the Trustees.
