THE HAMILTON SCOTT CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
The Trustees present their report for the year ended 5 April 2023 under the Charities Act 2011, together with the financial statements for the year, and confirm that they comply with the requirements of the Act, the Governing Constitution and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2015.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Hamilton Scott Charitable Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, which was established by Angela Chiswell under a Governing Constitution dated 1 November 2018. Angela Chiswell, Emily Chiswell, James Chiswell and Lucy Chiswell are the original trustees. The four Trustees are considered to be the Key Management Personnel of the Trust and are actively involved in the administration.
The minimum number of Trustees, required by the Governing Constitution, is three. Trustees serve a term which is stipulated in the Governing Document and their selection is based on their relative experience and contribution to the Trust as a whole. In selecting new Trustees the existing Trustees take into account the benefits of appointing a person who through residence, occupation, employment or otherwise has special knowledge of the area of benefit or who is otherwise able, by virtue of his or her personal professional qualifications to make a contribution to the pursuit of the objects or the management of the Trust. The Trustees keep the skill requirements of the Trustee body under review and in the event that a Trustee retires, or additional new Trustees are required, the existing Trustees collectively discuss the change. There is no formal induction or training of new Trustees, however the Trustees attend charity Trustee training workshops to upgrade their skills and knowledge when possible.
On the agreement of all existing Trustees, a new Trustee may be recruited. The background to the Trust is provided to the prospective new Trustee before appointment and further information is then shared at the Trustees' meetings throughout the year. This information includes a brief history of the Trust, a copy of any financial information and Trustees' Minutes, and a copy of the Governing Constitution.
The Trustees correspond and meet throughout the year and agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, investments, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of grants and the processing and handling of applications, prior to the consideration of the Trustees, is dealt with by the Administrator.
All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the period. Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 5 to the accounts. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and in accordance with the Trust's policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
The Trustees currently have an investment policy with their investment manager. Going forward the Trustees will continue to monitor and adapt their policies in the best interests of the Trust.
Risk Management
The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Trust. Risks are identified and assessed, and controls are established throughout the year. A formal review of the Trust's risk management process will be undertaken on an annual basis. The key controls used by the Trust include formal agendas and minutes for all Trustee meetings, comprehensive planning, budgeting and accounting and clear authorisation and approval levels of all grants and other expenditure.

THE HAMILTON SCOTT CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
Risk Management (Cont’d)
Through the risk management processes established, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately managed. The major risks identified by the Trustees are financial, being the volatility of investment returns on the managed portfolios and the proper use of the grants given by the Trust each year.
Objects, Objectives and Principal Activities for the Public Benefit
The Trust’s objects are::
- Generally for such purposes or objects which are from time to time recognised as exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissioner’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation’s aims and objectives in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The Trust fulfils its objectives through its donations, in particular by:
- Providing donations to projects through other registered UK charities which provide research, support and care for the benefit of the public as a whole both in the UK and overseas.
Grant Making Policy
The Trust has established its grant making policy to achieve its objectives for the benefit of the public.
The Trust supports causes which, where possible, are monitored personally by a Trustee or Trustees who will try and visit the organisation to see firsthand how they have used the funds that have been donated. Overseas projects are also funded if they meet the required criteria.
The Trustees request regular reports from the recipients of their donations to provide details of how the donations have been allocated and spent. Donations are only continued where the applicant provides sufficient relevant information to the Trustees and satisfies the Trustees that continuation of funding is in the interests of the Trust.
Achievements and Performance
A summary of the year’s results and performance is given on page 7 of the accounts.
The Trustees made charitable donations during the year of £16,000 (2022: £16,000). The Trustees’ aim is to continue to look at suitable organisations to fund in the coming year.
The Trustees distributed all of the income received during the year by way of its charitable activities. The Trustees are satisfied that the level of investment income and performance of the assets represents an appropriate return on the funds during the year.

THE HAMILTON SCOTT CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
Financial Review (including Reserves Policy)
The Trust is reliant on the income from its investments. The Trust's income during the year ended 5 April 2023 comprised investment income amounting to £13,520 (2022: £12,098). The Trustees allocated the income and capital from the Unrestricted Fund as follows:
General Charitable Causes £19,599
The grant administration and governance costs of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2023 were £3,599 (2022: £4,380). The Trustees report no net income surplus or deficit, before other recognised gains and losses, for the year ended 5 April 2023 (2022: Nil).
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which is sufficient to distribute the Trust’s Funds to charitable causes each year whilst retaining capital for the maintenance and growth of the Fund. The income generated from the cash held by the Trust, and by the investments under management, all form part of the reserves.
Investment Policy and Performance
The Governing Constitution confers upon the Trustees wide powers of investment, in all respects, as if they were absolute owners beneficially entitled to the underlying assets. At present the Trust's funds comprise listed securities (investment portfolios held with an investment manager) and cash.
Trust monies requiring investment under the Governing Constitution may be invested in the purchase of such stocks, funds, shares, securities or other investments of whatsoever nature as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion think fit. The Trustees shall have the same full and unrestricted powers of investing and converting investments in all other respects as if they were absolutely entitled to the Trust’s Funds beneficially
The Trustees' policy is to invest the funds available in a secure market, endeavouring to obtain a reasonable income, compatible with protection of the capital value involved and taking into account inflationary factors. With this in mind the Trustees have employed the services of Ruffer LLP to act for them on a professional basis. The balance of funds are held in an interest bearing cash account.
The Trustees monitor the performance of the investments held by the Trust in line with their short and long term aims and objectives, as well as undertaking regular reviews with the investment managers at the Trustees' meetings throughout the financial year.
Investment Policy and Performance (Cont’d)
Investments are shown at fair value rather than book cost in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting by Charities. In the year ended 5 April 2023, the Trust made unrealised losses on listed investments of £10,506 (2022 gains of: £50,121) and a realised gain of £5,437 (2022: £3,617).
The investment managers do not measure their performance against a specific market or index but, instead, have twin objectives of not losing any value of the investments on a 12 month rolling basis and to grow the portfolio at a rate that is ahead of cash held in a bank. During the year ended 5 April 2023 the investments showed a decrease in value of 1.77%.

THE HAMILTON SCOTT CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
The Trustees confirm that the Trust's assets are sufficient to fulfil its obligations in respect of unrestricted funds and that all investments held by them on behalf of the Trust have been acquired in accordance with the powers available to them under the Governing Constitution.
Plans for the Future
The Trustees will continue to aim to distribute the income of the Fund whilst maintaining the capital of the Fund. The incoming resources available for charitable purposes for the next year (to 5 April 2024) are expected to be similar to the current year.
The Hamilton Scott Charitable Trust is a lasting testimony to the generosity and philanthropic concerns of the Settlor. The Trustees will continue to direct the Trust's funds to general charitable causes which they think fit the criteria and objects which are set out in the Governing Constitution.
The Accounts
The Trustees are satisfied with the financial position of the Trust and confirm that they have adequate assets available to fulfil their obligations.
-
All cash is held on an interest bearing bank account.
-
The accounts comply with current statutory requirements.

THE HAMILTON SCOTT CHARITABLE TRUST
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the income and expenditure of the Trust for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
observe the methods and principles in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

1. PRINCPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Accounting
These accounts have been prepared for the year ended 5 April 2023. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
(b) Assessment of Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.
At the period end the Foundation had positive unrestricted reserves. The Trustees believe that the Foundation's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that the Foundation has sufficient liquid resources and that the Trustees have the power under the Governing Constitution to utilise the expendable capital account for charitable purposes at their discretion if required.
The Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Foundation to continue as a going concern. The Trustees are of the opinion that the Foundation will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The most significant areas of judgement that affect items in the accounts are detailed above. With regard to the next accounting period, the year ending April 2024, the most significant areas that affect the carrying value of the assets held by the Foundation are the level of investment return and the performance of the investment markets (see the investment policy and the risk management sections of the Trustees' report for more information).
(c) Fixed Asset Investment
Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Trust does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
As noted above the main form of financial risk faced by the Trust is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(c) Fixed Asset Investments (cont’d)
Realised gains (or losses) on investment assets are calculated as the difference between disposal proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value at that date. Realised and unrealised investment gains (or losses) are combined in the statement of financial activities and are credited (or debited) in the year in which they arise. Debtors have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material..
(d) Debtors
Debtors have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.
(e) Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
(f) Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the Foundation anticipates it will pay to settle the debt.
(g) Income Recognition
All income is recognised in the period in which the Foundation is entitled to receipt, the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty, and it is probable that the income will be received.
Dividends and interest from listed investments, including associated tax credits, and bank interest are credited to the statement of financial activities when they are receivable by the Foundation. Donations received are credited to the statement of financial activities when they are receivable by the Foundation.
(h) Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(h) Expenditure Recognition (cont’d)
Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities when incurred and includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. The costs of raising funds comprise those costs directly attributable to managing the Foundation's investment portfolio and raising investment income.
Charitable activities comprise grants payable in pursuance of the objectives of the Foundation and in meeting the costs of administering the donations. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching to them are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end, are noted as commitments but not accrued as expenditure in the accounts. Charitable activities also comprise governance costs which include costs which are directly attributable to legal procedures necessary for compliance with statutory requirements.
(i) Funds Added
Funds added to the Trust are credited to the capital account when receivable.
(j) Unrestricted Funds
The Trust has two unrestricted funds which are capital and income. It is the Trustees intention that income is to be applied to or for the benefit of exclusively such objects or purposes as are for the time being charitable in law and that the capital account may be applied in the same manner as far as necessary.
(k) Taxation
The Trust is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2011 and is not liable to UK income, corporation or capital gains tax on its income and chargeable gains as these fall within the various exemptions available to registered charities.
Irrecoverable VAT has been charged to the accounts in line with the expense to which it relates and is disclosed separately.
