The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, induding Financial R8POrting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicabl8 in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements". give a true and fair view of the state of the Charitable COmpan￿S affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its income and exp8nditure for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basls of opinlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) {ISAs (UK)) and applicable law.

We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements Ihat are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including th8 FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other elhical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Concluslons relating to going concern In auditing the financial ststernents, we have conduded that the Trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we hav6 perfonned, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concem for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concem are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other infomiatlon The other information comprises the information included in the annual report. other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report thereon.

Page 9 of 19 THE GRAND CHARITY REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBER OF THE GRAND CHARITY Our responsibility is to read the other infonnation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies Of apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there 15 a material misstatement of this Other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Rosponslbilities of Trustee3 As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disdosing, as applicable, matters related to going con￿rn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 10of 19 THE GRAND CHARITY REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBER OF THE GRAND CHARITY Auditovs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatemen( whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includ88 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan￿ with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it 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 taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are InStan￿S of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The ext8nt to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: The Charitable Company is required to comply with both company law and charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, We identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for any restricted funds was of key significance. We gained an understanding of how the Charitsble Company complied with Its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to properly account for any restricted funds, through discussions with management and 8 review of the documented policies, procedures and controls. The audit team. which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the charitable Gompanvs SU8ceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override. Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewing joumal adjustments and unusual transactions. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or .uk auditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of the audlt report This report is made solely to the Charitable Companys member in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so Ihat we might state to the charitable company's member those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume resF)onsibility to anyone other than the Charitable Company and the Charitable Companls member for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed. r50rf Stephen Anderson FCCA Senior Ststutory Auditor for and on behalf of Knox Cropper LLP Statutory Auditor 65 Leadenhall Street London EC3A 2AD 06 Nov 2025 Page 11 of 19 THE GRAND CHARITY STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (Including an Income and Expenditure Account) Note 2025 £'ooo 2024 £'ooo INCOME Donations and legacies 804 879 Total Incomo 804 879 EXPENDITURE Investment management costs (o) (1) Charltable actlvltlas Masonic grants Non-masonic grants (1,000) 13 (780) 987 750 Total expondlture Net Incomel(expendlture) I ransTers between funds 987 751 (183) 128 NET MOVEMENT IN FUNDS 183 128 Total funds brought forward Total funds ¢arrlod forward 272 144 89 272 All income and expenditure derive from continuing actlvities and all gainsllosses are included in the statement of financial activilies The notes on pages 15 to 19 fom part of these financial statements.

Legacies are recognised where there has been a grant of probate, the executors have identified that there are sufficient assets in the estate after settlement of liabilities to pay the legacy and any condition8 attached to the legacy are either in control of the Charity or have been met.

All resources expanded are recognised on an accruals basis, with the exception of grants as noted below. Expenditure on generating funds includes costs of fundraising and maintenance of festival and donor records, together with the management of the investment portfolios. These costs include the allocation of support costs relating to these adivities.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities which qualify as basiG financial instruments are initially recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discounts. They 8re subsequently valued at amortised cost and assessed for impaimient at the end of each reporting period. Where sett18ment is not expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date, then the asset or liability is discounted using the long tenn retum of inflation plus 4 percent used as the target for the Charity's investrnent portfolio.
