Flnanclal summary
Total income for the year was £399,446, compared with £632,066 in 2022. The majority of this income was
generated by the Trust's investment portfolio. Total expenditure for the year was £418,404, a decrease on the
£422,909 for the comparative year. During the year, there was a gain on investments of £326,197, compared lo
a prior year loss of £1,491,196. This resulted in the overall surplus for the year being £307,239 compared to an
overall deficit of £1,282,039 in 2022. Funds carried forward total £12,391,315, of which £202,989 relate lo
endowment and the remaining £12,188,326 are unreslricled. £12,200,815 is represented by the Trust's
investment portfolio with the remaining £190,500 represented by current assets less current liabilities.
Investments
FNAIST maintains ils investments in a range of fixed interest and equity securities. The investment portfolio
produces regular income each year, which is essential lo the Trust's ongoing operation as this income funds the
grant payments. Investment performance is monitored by the Investment Sub-commillee, the members of
which are shown on page 1. The Sub-commillee meets with the investment advisors, Brewin Dolphin Limited,
three limes a year lo monitor investment performance across a range of benchmarks, and lo lake appropriate
advice. The Charills investment policy slipulales that a key benchmark is lo track the performance of the
portfolio over a 3 year rolling period against the ARC Charitable Balanced Portfolio. In the three years to 31
December 2023 the Charity s portfolio grew by 13.110/0 compared with growth of 9.480/0 for the ARC Charitable
Balanced Portfolio. The Trustees are satisfied with the performance of the investments.
Reserves pollcy
As al 31 December 2023 the Charity's free reserves, as defined by the Charity Commission, are ils unreslricled
funds and amounted lo £12,188,326. These funds are available to be used for both current and future
beneficiaries. The Trustees endeavour lo ensure that the reserves (which primarily comprise investmenlsl are
maintained al the appropriate level such that the income generated is sufficient lo cover known outgoing
expenditure and the average level of grant approvals that are made al present.

TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The Trust does not have plans to reduce reserves levels in the medium term future. This is considered
appropri8te as reserves are invested to create annual income because the Trust does not generate regular
income from any other source. Annual investment income experienced in recent years exceeded annual base
running costs, and the balance is spent on grants lo individuals in support of charitable objects to the extent
possible. For now, any longer tèrm gains that are experienced on the investment portfolio are therefore
reinvested for use on future beneficiaries. The remainder of funds are then able to be made 8vai18ble for
investment to genemte funds.
The Charity relies on the interest and dividends generated by ils share portfolio lo fund ils charitable activities
and the Trustees have determined to maintain a prudent level of cash held as Reserves in the Charills bank
accounts. This cash acts as a buffer against unforeseen expenditure requirements.
Most grants are now being received online. with BACS payments being made for all bul a very few grants. As
can been seen from the 2023 list of grants provided to individuals, the numbers have increased.
Fundraising
The Edward Goslling Trust agreed a grant of £250,000 which FNAIST received in March 2022. This generous
grant is for the next 10 years and is being spent al the rale of £25,000 per annum adjusted for infl8tion as
closely as we can in accordance with their wishes of the previous years. The Trustees are very grateful to the
Edward Goslling Trust- these funds make a huge drfference to the lives of our beneficiaries.
Plans for the future
The Trustees plan to continue the granl-giving activities of the Trust for the foreseeable future, in line with its
charitable objectives.
Disclosure of infomiation to auditors
Each of the persons who are Trustees al the time when this Trustees, Report is approved has confirmed that=
so far as that Trustee is aware. there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are
unaware, and
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought lo have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of
any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitls auditors are aware of that information.
Audltors
The auditors, James Cowper Kreslon Audit, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The
designated Trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a July meeting of the Trustees.

Auditors. responsibilities for tho audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 4411 Ilcl of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scollandl
Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations
made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors, Report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstslemenl when il exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial slatemenls.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that 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 on non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional con￿alment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentslion.
The specific prO￿dureS for this engagement that we designed and performed to delecl material misstatements
in respect of irregularities, including fraud, were as follows=
Enquiry of management and those charged with govemance around actual and potential litigation and
claims-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any material instances of non
compliance with laws and regulations.,
Reviewing financial slalemenl disclosures and lesling to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.,
Performing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due to management override of controls, including
testing of joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of
significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for
evidence
of bias.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website al.. www.frc.or

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Accounting policies (continued)
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has enlillement lo the income, it is probable that the
income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of
receipt and the ability lo estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of
entillemenl to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left lo
them {through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the
executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate.
Re￿Ipl of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value
of the amount re￿1Vable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed lo the
Charity, can be reliably measured.
For donations lo be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement
date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of
perf0mlan￿ before entitlement can be obtsined then income is deferred until those conditions are
fully mel or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and il is probable that
they will be fulfilled.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and
securities. It includes dividends and interest. Interest income is recognised using the effective
interest method and dividend income is recognised as the Charitls right to re￿1ve payment is
established.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised On￿ there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic
benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in
settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by
activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs,
including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs atlribulable lo a single
activity are allocated directly to that activity.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for ils
charitable purposes and and includes all costs of all investment management fees.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the
Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charity bul do not directly represent charitable
activities and include office costs, governan￿ costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are
incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project
management. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have
been allocated to expenditure on raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis
consistent with use of the resources.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 7.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made ex￿pt in those cases where the
offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are
fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met al the year end are noted as a
commitment, bul not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their
transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the
value cannot be measured reliably in which case il is measured al cost less impairment. Investment
gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised. are combined and presented as 'GainsllLossesl
on investments, in the Slalement of Financial Aclivilies.
Fair value is deemed to be market value using closing quoted market pri￿. The Slalement of
Financial Activities includes all net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout
the year. As investments are revalued to fair value continuously, no realised gains or losses arise.
2.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade dis￿Unt offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short
maturity of three months or less from the date of affjuisition or opening of the deposit or similar
account.
2.7 Liabilitie$ and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation al the Balance Sheet dale as a result of a past
event, il is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the
amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anlicipales it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount il has received as advanced payments for the goods or services il must provide.
Provisions are measured al the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, diswunted al the pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specific lo the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Finanaal Activities as a finance cost.
2.8 Financial in$trumgnts
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and
subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.9 Pension$
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the
amounts payable by the Charity lo the fund in respect of the year.
