Investment Poli and erformance The Trustees have dlvided thelr portfollo approxlmately equally between two investment managers, Ruffer & Co and Waverton Inve5tsrent Management. The portfolios are managed on a total return basis. The drawdown forthe year was budgeted at £332,00012023- £282.0001 including an additiDnal £50,000 to take account of anticipated one-off Costs a550ciated with the move to CIO and recruitment of the new Grants Director. In the event the additional funds were not ￿quIred. On 31 July 2024 this sum represented approximately 4.3%12023- 3.9%) of the value of the portfolio. The perfomiance of the investment managers and the level of income drawdown is reviewed on an annual basi5. The Trustees grant-making policy continues to be to distribute the agreed drawdown lafter deducting the proper expenses of administering the charilyl to organisalions and individuals falling within the charitvs charitable objectives. Accordingly, their aim is to ensure that the income stream is not only maintained but increases in line with inflation: and that the capital value of the wrtfolio is preserved In real terms. They believe that a total return approach is an appropriate way to achieve this objective. The Trustees accept that the value of the investments may fluctuate but are agreed that they should endeavour to keep the level of income constant in real terms. Reserves Poli The Trustees, pollcy Is that so far as possible the income arisinE in any one year (after administrative expenses) should be applied towards its charitable objective5. However, it is thought prudent to establish a modest reserve so as to ensure that should there be an unexpectedly substantial call upon the resources of the charity, the Trustees would be in a position to respond. With the foregoing in mind. since 2015 they have transferred the sum of £IO,QQO per annum to a Special Reserve Fund to give flexiljility to make exceptional 8ront5 of over £5,(K)O. particularly towards the purchase of slgnlflcant items by mLJseums. The Fund stood at £Nil at the start of the year.

Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the truslees, responsibilities statement. the trustees 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 15 necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparlng the flnancial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disc105in& as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basls of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity orto cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed a5 auditor under section 151 of the Charitie5 Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assura1)￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material missiatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to Issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA5 IUKI will always detect a material mi55tatement 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 u5er5 taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures In Ilne with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent ta which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud,. reviewing assumptions and judgements made by management in making significant accounting estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of ar) audit, there 15 a risk that we will not detert all irregularities. including th05e lèading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with reBulation. This risk increases the more that compllance with a law or regulation is removed from the event5 and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, colluslon, omisslon or misrepresenlation. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional jud8ment ar)d maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 14

The Leche Trust Notes tothe Financlal Statements for the year gnded 31 July 2024 {continued) Identlfy and assess the rlsks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedure5 responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultlng from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may invofve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proTrdures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivene55 of the charity's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimate5 and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and. based on the audSt evldence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to event5 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity'5 ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are reqLJired to draw attention in our audito¢s report to the related disc105ures in the firbancial statements or, if such disclosu￿5 are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the Overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transaction5 and event5 in manner that achieves fair presentation lie. 8ives a true and fair viewl.
