IGrant-making Policy and Practice
The core purpose of our grant making progratnme is to support organisalions that enable young people up lo the
age of 24 in Cumbria & North Lancashire experiencing challenging circumstances to thrive.
The most recent strategic review was completed during 2019. Implementation began in 2020 and has continued at
pace during 2021 and 2022, despite the effects of the pandemic on the Trusts operations and that of its grant
holders. Key strategic decisions were=
To adopi a MO￿ positive, assel balanced approach based on the developmenl of an individual's assets
rather than the ellmlnatlon ol deficlts..
To be more deliberate in the tunding ot earty Intervention and preventative programmes as opposed to
crisis support or emergency relief.
To reconsider the use of deprlvallon slatlsllcs to conslder Ihose experlenclng dlfficultleslbarrlers to
thriving as a result of a numb8r of limiting lactors rath8r than solely living in ar8as of d8privation.
Adapt the use of the 8-year funding model to enable more strategic working with social enterprise
organisalions (such as CICS) and glve conslderatlon to longer lerm relatlonshlps wlth grant holdlng
charitable organisations.
Develop a more collaborative approach lo how we work both with other funders and other key
stakeholders wilhin and outside the voluntary sector.
Be pro-active in supporting the sector through engagement with infrastructure bodies and local and
regional authorities.
Expand the Step Change programme to maximise bespoke developmental support for local charilies
with potenlial but experiencing challenges or wishing to make signiticant developments.

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. Following a commissioning process, Braihay Trust was
awarded the contract to deliver Ihe programmè in partnership with Ihe University of Cumbria {who have created a
Bsc (Honsl in Social Enterprise Leadership specifically for ALP) and Common Purpose.
The longitudinal report on the impacts of the programme commissioned by the Trust in 2021 was received by
Trustees and it's findings considered. Trustees committed to supporting a fifth cohort, due lo begin September
2024, by providing 60 10 of the lunding required. The ALP sleering group are responsible lor identifying and
raising the remaining 40°/o. The Trust is an active part of the steering group and committed to supporting the
fundraising activity to secure a fifth cohort of the programme.
Excluding ALP. the Trust received main grant funding requests of over £1 .3m in 20221£1.3m in 20211 with 77°/.
of applicants to the main grants programme being successful, wilh one successful application later being

Although the mosl obvious and immediale effecls of Ihe Covid-19 health pandemic abated, ils longer term
effects continued lo be felt by individuals, families and communilies. The role of charities and community groups
in providing support beyond the crisis phase. is vital, as the effects on young people in particular are conlinuing lo
emerge and are not yet fully underslood.
The UK also entered a cost of living crisis during the year and the charity sector is one of several lo experience
staffing shortages and challenges al a time ol increasing need for services.

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.

Public Benefit
The Trustees conffirm that they have referred to Charily Commission guidance on public benefil when reviewing the
Trust's aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting the grant-making policy and are satisfied thal
the Trust meets the requirements ol the key principles as defined.
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.

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.

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 TrU￿ee$ 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.

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees are
responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal
control as the trustee5 determine 15 necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue
as a going concem. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or lo cease operations, or have
no realistic alternabve but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial slatements
We have been appointed a5 auditor under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities
Act 2022 and report in acc￿rdan￿ with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finanaal statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assuran￿ is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audil conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK} will always detect a materi21 misstatement 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 users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with 18ws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect malerial misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our procedufes a￿ capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below.
In identifying and ass8ssing risks of material misstatement in r8SP8Ct of irregularities, including fraud and non-
compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following..
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of
irregularities..
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the charity's documentation of their policies and
procedures relating to=
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they are aware
of any instances of non<omplianc8"
delecling and responding to risks of fraud and whether they have any knowledge of any
actual, suspected or alleged fraud,.

THE FRANCIS c scorr CHARITABLE TRUST
Dated 1 St October 1963 - RegiSte￿d Charity No. 232131
Independent Audltor's report to the Trustees of The Francls C Scott Charltable Trust
the intemal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or nonwcompliance with laws and
regulations.
the matters discussed among the audit team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial
statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunitie5 and incentives that may exist within the
organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud to be in relation to management override
which, in common with all audits under ISAS (UKI, we are required to perform specrfic procedures to respond
to this risk.
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. This description fonns part of our
auditor'5 report.
