THE IAIN GRANT TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2024 The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 5th April 2024. together with the financial statements. Governing Document The Iain Grant Trust is governed by the settlement dated 16th June 1986 and is managed by three trustees. Trustees The trustees who served during the period: A.M. Latham N.A. Latham V.A. Hulton The settlor of the trust stated that there should be three trustees, one from the field of commerce, one from the field of accountancy and one from the field of teaching. On a current trustee wishing to resign searches are made in the relevant field to find a replacement. Reserves Policy The trustees have no fornial reserves policy in place. It is their intention to grant the whole income of the trust to applicants. Aims and Objectives The object of the organisation is to provide grants to provide assistance in the field of education as follows: To assist working teachers of children under the age of13 to travel abroad to study teaching methods. To assist the advancement of education by the headmaster of Woodchurch C of E Controlled Primary School by providing £l.000 per annum. To provide scholarships to practising teachers from any country to spend a period of up to 6 weeks in another country to study teaching methods. In applying the aims and objectives of the trust, the trustees have given careful consideration to the charity commission's general guidance on public benefit. While the trust aims are very specific, they believe that the public benefit is achieved as no school teacher of relevant school children is precluded and therefore all children can benefit from the teaching ideas obtained from the visits assisted by the grants.
THE IAIN GRANT TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2024 Over the years a number of the grants have been paid to teachers travelling abroad to study teaching mcthods and this should assist in improving their students learning experience Excerpts from reports No new reports have been received due to travel in the COVID period together with a current slow uptake and therefore we have left in the old reports for interest. Visit to India, Singapore and New Zealand "In all three countries, it was the similarites in how we educate - more than the differences - whÈch stiuck me most during the trip. In hindsight I should have expected these similarites, for we as teachers are all chai'ged with the same task: to facilitate learning (and instil a love of learning?)" Visit to Shanghia This entire experience has really helped me to consider best practise in schools, how It can develop my own and staff support, and consider how certain adaptions may enhance the opportunities and learning styles for all children in my school. Thank you for the unforgettable, professional development opportunity this visit has afforded me. It really has revolutionised aspects of what I consider to be most effective teachino strateuie%" Designated Fulld A designated fund has been created by the trustees to honour the wishes of l.C.S. Grant, whose intention was that his residuaiy estate would be added to the restricted funds of the trust. The funds received following the death of Mrs June Grant from her residuary estate and the lain Grant settlement for her have been added to this fund. Fundraising The trust does not fundraise, relying on its investments for income. These investments are actively managed by stockbrokers to balance any risk. N.A. Latham Trustee
THE IAIN GRANT TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APIUL 2024 I report on the accounts of The lain Grant Trust for the year ended 5th April 2024, which are set out on pages 5 - 8. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, 'it is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity CommissÉon under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 explanatAons from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiller's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met or (2) to which, in my Opinio attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
