Trustees' Report for the year ended 5 April 2025
Aims and activities
Grants awarded for charitable purposes are made at the discretion of the trustees.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in setting the grant making policy for the year.
Investment management
The charity's investment portfolio is managed on a discretionary basis by Rathbones.
The investments are managed so as to obtain a balance between income and capital growth. The investments comprise a balanced portfolio of equities, with a medium risk profile, fixed interest investments and cash.
There are no specific restrictions other than the investments should be suitable for trusts.
Trust reserves
The trustees aim to keep a level of liquidity within the trust's assets and year on year will donate the surplus income of the trust. The income producing investments are maintained to generate future income.
Trustees' responsibility for the financial statements
Charity law requires the trustees of the charity to prepare a receipts and payments account and a statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year. The trustees have chosen instead to prepare accruals accounts and to prepare a Statement of Financial Activities and a Balance Sheet which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 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, which are sufficient to:
-
show and explain the charity's transactions;
-
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity;
-
enable them to ensure that any financial statements comply with the requirements of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5[th] April 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 18.
Respective responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material aspect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

9. Funds
The fund comprises the original settled capital as adjusted for subsequent realised and unrealised investment gains and losses, together with the annual surpluses or deficits of income.
The trustees are able to apply capital and income for charitable purposes as they think fit and the accumulated fund has therefore not been allocated to separate income and capital funds.
