TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report for the year ended 5 April 2024.

Legal Status

J S Marsland Charitable Settlement was established on 29 March 2008, pursuant to the Will of Mrs Joan Spence Marsland dated 8 August 2005. Funds were initially transferred to the Settlement on 27 July 2009.

On 22 April 2015 the J S Marsland Charitable Settlement and the Louis McAdoo Charitable Trust were merged and the name of the charity was changed to the Marsland McAdoo Charitable Settlement.

On 7 August 2019 the funds of the Betty Stott Charitable Trust were merged into the Marsland McAdoo Charitable Settlement.

Objectives

The Trust was established for the purpose of applying income and, from time to time, capital for charitable purposes. Following the merger with the Betty Stott Charitable Trust, the trustees resolved that 25% of the Trust shall be applied for the benefit of medical research.

Public Benefit Statement

The trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and consider that the granting of charitable donations is consistent with this guidance.

Organisation

The trustees are appointed by deed and hold meetings from time to time as they think fit to consider the affairs of the Trust and to make rules and regulations for the conduct of their meetings and carrying out their duties.

Investment Powers and Restrictions

The funds held by the Marsland McAdoo Charitable Settlement are all undesignated and unrestricted funds.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of its net incoming resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in existence.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Trust and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities

Risk Management

The trustees have assessed the risk facing the Charity and are satisfied that they have taken sufficient steps to mitigate any liabaility to the Charity.

Reserve Policy

The trustees meet, at least, annually, to consider charitable requests. After accounting for expected governance costs, all accumulated income funds are distributed for charitable purposes.

Investment Policy

The Charity's investment policy is one of capital and income growth with moderate risk. The trustees aim to achieve these objectives through use of investments managed by Financial Advisers.

On behalf of the Trustees
