Dated 1st October 1963- Registered Charity No. 232131 Trustees, Annual Report Ilor the year ended 31st December 20221 Fi'ancis Scott Ti'ust Aspiring Leaders Programme (ALP) The most significant single project supported by the Trust is the ongoing Aspiring Leaders Programme (ALP) with ALP4 having started in January 2021. ALP4 completed their second year of study during the year, with 12 participants due to complete the programme at the end of 2023. This innovalive projecl was a key outcome Irom the Truslees, 2010 Strategic Review and is seeking io enhance the leadership capability of our local nol-lor-profii sector.

Dated 1st October 1963- Registered Charity No. 232131 Trustees, Annual Report Ilor the year ended 31st December 20221 Fi'ancis Scott Ti'ust Step Change The Trust has operated a small 'funder plus, programme since 2015, to provide specialist. focussed support lo organisations to address a specific need. The Trust's 2019 strategic decision to expand this programme gained further traction during the year with a Ihree fold increase in the number of organisations receiving bespoke support. No applicants requesting Step Change support were rejected during the year. In response to the concerns raised by community groups relating to the impact ol the Covid pandemic on staff and volunteer teams, Trustees expanded the programme lo enable organisations to directly support their teams, in particular lo address needs around wellbeing and resilience. 2022 is the second year this olfer was explicitly made, and of the 12 Slep Change processes awarded during the year, 4 were used for this purpose. In late 2021 grant holders were approached to identily other areas in which Step Change could be deployed. lo offer training and development in areas which are not easily accessible elsewhere. The themes most frequently requested by grant holders wer8 - lime and energy management and coaching skills tor managars. Future Fixers, a Kendal based CIC were Commissioned to deliver two locussed programmes, each over two half days lo address the areas identified. 9 and 11 attendees respectively attended the pilot programmes, run during March and provided positive feedback. A second programme was run in the autumn wilh 8 and 5 atiendees respeclively. The nexl iteralion ol the programme is a monthly peer support session locussing on different aspecls of personal development for prolessional excellence. Peer support sessions will run throughout 2023, beginning in January. The programme is capped at 16 participanls and was oversubscribed. Social Investment In April 2021 Trustees committed lo developing a small social investment portfolio and the Trust's first repayable loan was made within Ihe year. For the Trusl, social investment enables utilising part of th8 capital endowment to support local organisations when grant lunding is not the most appropriate source of finance or who fall outside the priority funding area, but whom we would look to support if required. - Trustees gave careful consideration lo Charity Commission Guidance on Social Investment. CC14 and look i. legal advice to ensure the Trust Deed allowed lor Ihis activity. Trustees are mindful that social investment is not appropriate for all Charity and not for profit organisations and lakes a developmental and supportive approach lo working with potential applicants. Step Change can be used as a lool to improve investment readiness where required, and Ihe Trust became an access point for the Reach Fund during the year. .4*

Risk Management An Annual Risk Report is tabled every year for consideralion by Truslees Ihat includes 29 items with corresponding comments as to how best to address, ameliorate andlor monitor the identified risks. The most significant risk idenlified by Trustees is a major downlurn in the value of the Trust's investments which, if it were lo continue over the longer term, would impact on ils ability lo provide grants to ils priority areas of charitable work as outlined on page 5. This risk is addressed by holding a diversified porttolio of investments with separate fund managers and by having policies in place to adjust dislribulion levels over time. Trustees are also aware of the requirements of the Common Reporting Standard and confirm that all recipients ol grant funding during the year were organisations registered in the UK lor lax purposes. --Jrustees' Annual Report I Page 11 .
Dated 1st October 1963- Registered Charity No. 232131 Trustees, Annual Report Ilor the year ended 31st December 20221 Fi'ancis Scott Ti'ust Financial Review knvestment Pollcy As allowed by the Trust Deed, Truslees treat the capital of Ihe Trust as expendable endowment and have considerable discretion over the investment ol the monies of the Trust Fund. Trustees engage two separate investmenl managers. each with roughly half of the Trust's investment portfolio managed on a total relurn basis. The aim of the Trust's Investment Policy is to maintain the real value of the capital whilst providing sustainable returns to distribute as grants. In deciding the amount to be spent on grant-making and operations in the year, Trustees used as a guide an amount that is 3.5.10 of the total value lon a trailing 13 quarter average) ol the investmeni portfolio. Trustees agreed in April 2021 Ihat up to 50/0 ol the assels under managemenl may be deployed as social investments. During the year Trustees considered the current and ongoing needs facing young peopl8 in th8 beneficiary area and the posilive relative performance ol the Trust's assets over the long term. As a resull, Trustees agreed to increase distribution lo 4°/0 of Ihe tolal value lon a trailing 13 quarter average) from 2023. The full inveslment policy of the Trusl is reviewed annually by Trustees who take account of the advice and recommendations of Ihe Investment Committee. Envlronmental, Social & Governance In 2019 Trustees undertook a review of the Management of their Investments lo integrate a higher standard of Environmental, Social and Governance IESGI factors, bringing the investment management in line with their other social responsibilities as a granl-making Trust. For Ihe purposes of managing the portfolio lowards ESG integration, Trustees have adopted the UNPRI definition as "the explicit and syslemalic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investmenl decisions". Trustees consider this the start position for a journey towards greater alignment of investments with the Trusts values and objeclives over time. Performance against Investment Policy The portfolio produced a total return of negative 140/9 in 2022, with Sarasin producing a 14.60/0 negative return and Rothschild negative 13.39/.. This compares to the ARC Chariiy Steady Growth Index down 9.6Q/.. Reserves Policy As allowed by the Trust Deed. Truslees treat Ihe capital of Ihe Trust as expendable endowmenl. The capital is held primarily as an investment fund to generate income for the charity s granl-making programme. As at 31.12.22 Ihere was a negative balance on unrestricted funds (reserves) of £1.198m12021 .. £1.119ml. This arises because ol the inclusion in the financial statements ol grant commitments of £1.530m {2021 .' £1.550ml over the next 3 years thal are not due to be paid until after fulure investment returns are received. Fomard commitments are made within a calculation which protects Trustees capacity lo commit grants in luture years within the distribution strategy. The Trustee5 are satisfied that this is a sensible approach in relation lo annual investment income and that their investment strategy is sufficiently robusl to obviale the need for a designaled reserve fund.

Dated 1st October 1963- Registered Charity No. 232131 Trustees, Annual Report Ilor the year ended 31st December 20221 Fi'ancis Scott Ti'ust &r" Plans for Future Periods Trustees are very much aware that these remain challenging times lor many organisations and individuals in the Trust's beneficial area, with continued challenges and long-lerm effects, in particular for young people whose formative, developmental years have been materially impacted. As a long-lerm lunder, the Francis Scott Trust will continue providing multi-year lunding to charitable projects within ils defined areas ol benefit and continues to explore new ways ol working to expand productive and positive methods of collaboraling wilh community partners delivering quality programmes to children and young people locally. 2023 is the Trust s 60th anniversary year. During the year, a youth led grants programme will be launched and completed. Twenty young people, recruited from across the Trust s beneficial area will be trained and supported to set their own overall objective, priorities, and eligibility before opening the grants programme lo young people's groups. The programtne is intended to result in a legacy Ihat informs Ihe Trusts future strategic giving and incorporates young people's views beyond Ihis mileslone year. Going concern The fund value of £35,412,586 al the year-end December 2022 is down versus year-end December 2021 but more than the real value of the endowment. Trustees are mindful that the income from the fund may fluctuate in future years and that the growth in Ihe value of investmenls in reGenl years may not continue. The level ol dislribution made available remains at Trustee's discretion, as does the use ol capital lo meet agreed distribution levels. Based on Ihese assessments and given the measures undertaken lo miligate risks, the TrUee$ have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. This report was approved by Trustees on July 14th, 2023. Peter Redhead (Chair of Trustees}

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework thal the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022 and Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. As a result of performing the above, in response to the risks identified, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potentr'al risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and gUlations. In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified the following.. reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the rinancial statements- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation claim5', performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate nsks of material mi55tatement due to fraud- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance,. and in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of ioumal entries and other adiuslments., assessing whether the iudgemenls made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias- and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of the charity's work. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert lo any indications of traud or non-Gompliance with laws and regulations throLsghout the audit. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are trom financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing Standards also limit the audit procedure5 required to identify non-compliance wrth law5 and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A furth8r description of our respon5ibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statem8nts is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or9.uklauditorsresponsibilities.
