Objectives: To make donations to charities, both Masonlc and non-Masonic* primarily to local
charitable causes.
Publlc Beneflt. The objertives of the Clty and Unlversity of Cambridge Masonlc Charitable Trust
include the provision of grants to both Masonic and non~Masonic bodies. primarily within the
Cambridgeshire Ioc31ty. The Trustees consider that these objettives were met in respett of 2023
and, considering the nature and mix of recipients of the dispositions. the trustees are able to confirm
that they have complied with the duty in Sertion 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to meet the Public
Benefit requirement as specifled by the Charity Commission.
Revlew of Activitles. In accord with the Trust Oeed, the charivs artivities over 2023 consisted of the
release of grants to qualifying beneficiaries, in response to dirert appeals from external parties, to
initiatives from within the Province, and at the direction of the Tru5tee5.
Dlsbursements: As detailed in the notes to the accounts, some £36,500 was disbursed in respect of
2025. distributed amongst a mix of Masonic and non-masonic beneficiaries. The awards were blased
to local charities and other qualifying recsplents. in line with historic policy, and spread widely whilst
ensuring that any individual donation Is sufficient to be of real use to the beneficiary concerned.
Funding- The charity is reliant on an annual grant from Masonic resources within the Province of
Cambridgeshire, with the expectation that this will be deployed, totally or largely, over the following
year. The char¥ty does not interface with the public at large, except in respert of grants to non-
Masonic bodies, and does not seek external funding.
Investment Objectlves and Pollcy on Re5erve& The Trustees do not retain a reserve as such. though
there may be modest unspent sums at year end, depending on circumstances applicable to any
specific year. In the everbt that renewal of the annual grant wa5 not forthcomin& the Charl￿S
activities would go into abeyance, untll such time as funding might be renewed.
Future Plans. No changes are planned to existing policies, save that any larger fijnding would allow
the size and scope of grants to be expanded. Most award5 are for a single year only. though the
Trustees from time to time commit to a regular grant over a period of up to fjve years, always with
the strlct understanding that the fulfilment of such grants are entirety dependent on the continuity
of funding of the Charity. Giver5 that this prartise is less than satisfactory to the recipients, the
Trustees may reconsider reserves policy in any year in which a time contingent commitment is
made.
Thanks: The Trustees wish to thank all those who have contrlbuted to the functioning of the Charlty
over 2025 and note that, once again, beneficiaries have profited from thelr generosity in waving in
totality all entitlement to reimbursement of expenses over the year,

needed. It is my responsibility-

Basis of tha Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given
by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items
or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning such matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit. and consequently I do not express
an audtt opinion on the view given by the accounts.

In Gonnection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention:

requirements:

comply
with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not
