Charity number: 1202171 ## **THE MACFARLANE FAMILY FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** ## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the income and expenditure of the charity for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION** Sheila Parry will be considered for re-appointment at the next trustees' meeting as independent examiner for the ensuing year. Signed on behalf of the trustees 27 November 2025 **5** Charity number: 1202171 ## **THE MACFARLANE FAMILY FOUNDATION** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MACFARLANE FAMILY FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out in pages 7 - 11. ## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER** The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **BASIS** OF **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is expressed as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **EMENT INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STA** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
