The charity carries out its objects by grantmaking. The trustees confirm that they have given due regard the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **Grantmaking**
In general the trustees select the institutions to be supported according to their personal knowledge of work of the institution. Whilst not actively inviting applications, they are always prepared to accept any application which will be carefully considered and help given according to circumstances and funds then available. Applications by individuals must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation by the applicant's minister or other known religious leader.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The charity is reliant on voluntary income.There was reduction of some 24% in donations received and a 25 % reduction in grantmaking. This left a deficit for the year being funded from reserves held. The trustees continued to support individuals and families in need.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**

The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves, other than to ensure that they can continue the activities of the charity. Reserves at the year end were £16,979 (2022 - £32,626).
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The trustees anticipate that the charity will continue on a similar basis in the foreseeable future subject to satisfactory income and there are no plans for any major changes.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
## **Organisational structure**
The day-to-day affairs of the company are administered by the trustees. The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the board.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MISGOV LADOCH**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Misgov Ladoch**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Misgov Ladoch (the Trust) for the year ended 31 July 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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 respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do 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.
