The accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1. ## **Constitution** The Trust was constituted on 23 March 1976. The income and capital of the Trust is held by the Trustees for such charitable purposes as they think fit. ## **Objects and activities** The charity's objects are to support a variety of causes which are biased towards Hatfield, Cranborne and the support of agricultural and scientific pursuits. ## **Review of activities** The Trustees received a number of applications for assistance during the year, and were able to make funds available to those applicants who met the criteria under the terms of the Charity. The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have established systems to mitigate those risks. ## **Reserves policy** No assets are held under restrictive covenant, so that the reserves are distributable at the Trustees' discretion. The Trustees policy is to maintain a level of reserves which will provide a stable base for the Charity's continuing activities. The Trustees believe that the reserves are sufficient for its current purposes, and these are reviewed on a regular basis. ## **Public benefit statement** The Trustees, having regard to the Public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, consider that the purposes and activities of the charity satisfy the requirements of the public benefit test set out in section 4 of the same act. ## **Investment policy** The Trust Deed authorises the Trustees to invest the charity's funds in any investment assets. ## **Distribution policy** The Trustees' policy is to distribute all income as soon as practical after its receipt. ## **Results** The charity received income during the year amounting to £131,316 (2024 - £102,112). The Trustees were able to apply £80,880 (2024 - £70,850) for charitable purposes and required £5,013 (2024 - £4,728) for administration. There was a net deficit for the year of £4,577 (2024 - £1,534 surplus). ## **Review of ongoing position** The year ended 5 April 2025 has seen an application of funds under clause 4(b) of the Trust Deed of £80,880 (2024 - £70,850) as detailed in note 2. The assets of the general and expendable endowments funds are available and adequate to fulfill the obligations of the Charity. - 1 - **Salisbury New Pool Settlement - Charitable Fund** ## **Trustees' report for the year ended 5 April 2025** ## **Trustees** The Trustees who served during the year were: The Most Hon The Marquess of Salisbury Viscount Cranborne New Trustees are recommended by donors to the charity, and their appointment is considered by the existing Trustees.
