Fundraising activities
The tnjst does not carry out any significant fundraising activities.
Investment perforniance
The tNst's investment portfolio is managed by Cazenove. Funds are invested to provide a balanced return of wwth and
income for the charity. but with the various di￿leUltIeS in global financial markets in recent years the investment
portfolio has suffered significant volalility in market value. Despite the active management of the portfolio, the value of
investments decreased in the year ended 5 April 2023. The ￿)rtfOlIO is held as an expendable endowment thnd in
accordance with the t￿st deed. The cash held as part of the inveslrnenl w)rtfolio decreased to £347,479 due to the
purchase and disposal of ￿PIt￿ investments where deemed appropriate by the investment managers.

Financi41 position
As a result of ihe activities and investment perfornance mentioned above, the totsl funds de¢rea5ed to £5,261,129 (2022

in line with inflation. C￿h reserves of approximately one-half of the previous ye*s income are held to provide a
'CU5hion' against unforeseen expenditsre and against sharp fluctuations in incorne. Subject to this, it is the tnjstecs,
policy to distribute by way of grants the whole of the trusvs Surplus income after administration expenditure.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDrfoiLS TO THE TRusfEES OF
THE HUGH SYMONS CHARrrABLE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Hugh Symons Charttable Tnjst (the 'charity') for the year ended
5 April 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of signifjcant accounting wlicies. The financial reporting framework that has been
applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdorn Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the slate of the charity's affairs &8 at 5 April 2023 and of its incoming reSou￿¢S and
application of resou￿es, for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordance with Uniled Kingdom Generdlly Accepted Accounting Practice. and
have been prepared in ac¢ordance with the requiretnents of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) USAS (UK)) and applicable law.
Our reswnslbilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibililies for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical respon5ibililies in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is suificient and appropriate to pn)vide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to gDRng concern
In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the tn￿, use of the going concern basis of accounting in
the preparation of the financial stalements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfornled, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions
that, individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to contlnue as a going concern for a
period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trnstees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant
sections of this report.
Other information
The ttustees are responsible for the other inforniation. The other inforniation comprises the infomiation included in the
Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infrgrniation an4 except to the extent otherwise
explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any forn) of assurdnce conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statementy our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing
so. consider whether the other infonnation is materially incon5iStwrt with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or
apparent material misststements, we are required to deterniine whether this gives rise to a malerial misstatement in the
financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have perfornied. we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other infornlation, we are required to report that fr&t. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Mxtters on which we are required to report by exeeption
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Chartties (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
2008 requires us to re￿rt to you if. in our opinion:
the inforniation given in the Re￿rt of the Trustees is inconsislent in any mateTial respect with the finan¢ial
statements. or
sufficient accounting records have not been keptr. or
the ftsnancial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. or
we have not received all the infonnation and explanations we wuire for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of TTUStees' Res￿nSIbIlities. the trustees are responsible for the preparation of
the financial statements which give a Ime and fair view. and for such internal control as the trustees deternline is
necessary to enable the preparntion of financial slatements that atr f￿e from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the tNstces aTe responsible for assessing the charity's abiltty to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the t￿SteeS either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as audito￿ under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and re￿rt in accordance with the Act
and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain re&sonable ￿Urance about whether the fmancial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guardlltee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mis5talem¢nts ￿ arise from fraud or enDT
and are considered material if, individually or in the a&gregate. they could re&8onably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the b&sis of these financial statements.
Erregularities, including frdud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design pro¢edures in line
with our responsibilities, outlined above to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Th¢ extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements.
including the Charities Act 2011. In common with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are also required to identify
management overrid¢ as a significant risk and to perforn) specific procedures to respond to that risk. Our procedures
included reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing supwirting documentation to assess wmpliance with
laws and regulations having a direct effect on the financial 5taternents. We also made enquiries of managemenL read
minutes of meetings and perfornied analytical and substsntive procedures to identify unusual or unexpected events that
may indicate risk5 of material misslatement due lo fraud. We tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assLssed
whether judgements made are Indi￿tiVe of tK)lential bias. We also communicated relevant identified laws and
regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement tcam mernbers. and remained alert to any indications of fraud
throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audiL there is a risk that we will not detcrt all irregulaTities. including those
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or noTrcompliance with regulation. Thi5 risk increases the
more thal compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial
statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding
irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intenlional concealmenl forgery, collusion,
omi55ion or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Coun¢il's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This de￿riptIOn fo￿5 part of our Report of the
Independent AudiloTS.
