Glven the passage of time. and w￿h due consideratlon to the ag6 of those from the mass- mobilisation of 1939-45, Ihe peak in numbers of veterans has passed. The number of veterans with War Pensions or awards from the Armed Forces Compensation Schen appears lo have peaked also although some injurie$. especially those of a mental nature, lake some lime to come to light. However, the proportion of veterans of working a continues lo rise, as, of course, has been the rising age criteria for the State Pension. Thus, additional support In their advancing years is likely to increase also. What is clear is the increasing cost of medical. care and home support services. which are prolonging both lrfe length and quality, which tend to outpace standard inflalb)n at an acceleraling rate. Thls continues lo put pressure on Ihe funds available. The Truslees, ¢ontinuing aim is to balance the interests of ujrrenl and future benefficiaries by maximising investment income. subject lo the a￿eed risk profile, for distribution. while seeking lo maintain the value of the undistributed capital by no less than the RPI measure of infiation and more recently, CPI. Since 1990. the Trustees have distribute(l over £17.5 million in grants from income generated by the capital fund. The Trustees resolve to continue their lon9-term defensive approath to the Trust's investment policy. applying due diligen¢e Ihrough quarterly reviews. As previously reported. during 21122 the Finance & Investment SutFCommittee recommended lo the Board of Trustees that the portfolio should be invested in the Charity Mulli-Asset Fund which would come into full effect 22123. Thls has resulted in the smoolhing-out of the Income over a Ihree-year period and had given a greater ability to forecast annual income. In the intere$l$ of clarity, the Finance & Investment Sub-committee made recommendations lo the Board of Trustees on the Irealmenl of Accumulation units and Dlstribulion Units within the investment in the Charity Multi-Assel Fund. After due consideration the Board of Trustees agreed that income and increases in the value of units within the CMAF were to be treated as follows: + Gains and losses in value of Accumulatlon Units are not treated 88 Income for accountin9 and auditing purposes but are Considered as an unrealised capit81 gain to the investment in order to keep pace with infiation.

Trustee$. report Year to 31 March 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW (Gonlinued) Reserves policy It is the Trustees. wlicy to maintain a level of free ￿SeNeS necessary to meet any sudden and unforeseen needs of Trust beneficiaries and to enable the Trust's level of support for beneficiaries lo be maintained in any year when income falls below expectations. Al present. the Trustees jLKlge the appropriate level of such reserves to be in the region of £50,000 to £100,000. Where tt becomes necessary to use up any of these reseNe$, the aim is lo restore them to the desired level as soon as practicable. INhere the Trust's accumulated it￿OMe reserves exceed the desired level, the Trustees seek lo disburse the excess by way of grants to beneficiaries. At 31 March 2025 the free res8rves of the Trust were above Ihe desired levd. at £180,197 {2024- £203,389}. Golng concom The Trustees have assessed the posllion of the charity as a going corKern in preparing this report and financial statements and have made this assessment in respect to a period of one yearfrom the date of approval of these acGount¥. based on the expected level of activty during 2025126. The charity had nel current assets al 31st March 2025 and slgntficanl fixed asset investments which can be converted lo cash if necessary in order lo meet future grant commllmenls as or when they are made. FUTURE PLANS 11 Is widely accepted Ihat a prlncipal role of Govemment is to ensure the safety of its cltizens and secure the country from fO￿Ign Interference or hostile action. Thus, the need for Amied Forces In pursull of defence of the Gountry is enduring, for the foreseeable future at least. To that end Ihe Trustees feel Ihe need for charitable support for those who have served in the Armed Forces and have been injured or disabled {be it mental or physical Injury) arh their depeThJents will remain in perpeluity. On the one hand, those who have served and are Ilkely lo see service in the Armed Forces will continue lo decllne in future years,. on the other hand, the c¥>sl arKI complexity of suwort to individuals is likely to conlinue to rise. Historically, the costs of medical support and soclal care have tended lo outpace the general rate of Inflation by a significant margin and the is no suggestion that this tenéency is likely to change. Sel against such a background, Trustees are minded to ¢ontinue to support organisations which provide services to individuals who fall within the objects of th8 Charity, to the extent that the financial resources will allow. Thus, the Trustees intend to manage the Trusys income through the proper and Ptudenl investment poliC￿S whilst maintaining the value of the endowment. The governing dwjment includes spe¢rfi¢ referen￿ to those Persons who served in the mercantile marine or in any service established under the Civil Defence Acts 1937 and 1939 and who were disabled in such service and the vvidows and other dependants of such persons. within the range of beneficiaries. The Civil Defence Acts concemed were repealed in 1949 and so the youngest potential beneficiaries under this clause W￿ld now be 94 years of age. Thus, the TrLJslees are consciou5 that in ihe near future, it would be apwoprrate to seek approval fiom the Charity Commission to amend the charitable object accordingly. Queen Mary's Roehampton Trust

Trustees, roport Year to 31 March 2025 FUTURE PLANS leontinuedl In a glob21 sense, the conlinuir7g political uncertainty has seen growing inllalion with increases in the general cost of living. Not surprisingly this has geen a general increase in unsolicited approaches from charitles for financial support, albeit many do r￿t meet the restricted charitable object. Even so, the Trustees expect lo see 8 corresponding Increase in demand for support lo our eligible benefici8ry organisations. This rs likely lo remaln a theme in the short-18rm although the longer-lerm is somewhat less predictable. When Considering applications for support the Trustees will continue to focus their priority to those organisations that provide support lo eligible beneficiaries who e most in need. To this end, the application fomi and Grants Policy will continue lo t reviewed on a regular basis ensuring the most effeclive use of the Trust's in¢ome. Conscious loo of the in¢reasing demand for impact reporting. the Trustees are minded lo include relevant inforniation from those organisalions that have had the benefit of financial support from the Trust.

Critical accounting estlmates and areas of ludgement There are no significant areas of judgement or key assumptions that affect Items in thg financial statements. With respect lo the next reporting period, the most signtficant areas of uncertainty are the carrying value of investment assets held by Ihe charity, whioh will depend on the performance of investment markets and the investment income from these assets. Assossment of going concern The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. Th8 trustees have made this assessment in respe lo a p8riod of one year from the dale of approval of these financial statements. The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast signrficant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a golng concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity wlll have sufficient resources lo meet ils liabilities as they fall due. This is because the value of assets held by the charity is very materially in excess of the liabilities of the charity and the level of commitments in respect of grants approved for projècts payable in future years. The most significant area8 of judgement that affect items in the financial slalemenls are detailed above. With regard lo the next accounting peryod. the year ending 31 March 2026. the most significant a￿8$ that affect the carrying value of the assets held by the charity are the level of investment return and the performance of the investment markets l¥ee the investment policy and the risk management sections of the trustees, report tor rn0￿ Informal￿n).
